'''SpongeBob SquarePants''' (born {{Time|July 14}}, {{Time|1986}}&lt;ref&gt;[[SpongeBob's driver's license]]&lt;/ref&gt;) is the one of the ten main characters of the [[SpongeBob SquarePants (series)|animated franchise of the same name]]. He was designed by the former marine biologist, [[Stephen Hillenburg]]. Hillenburg based SpongeBob on [[Bob the Sponge]], a character he had created for his educational book "[[The Intertidal Zone]]" in the late 1980s.

SpongeBob is a childish, joyful, and clumsy [[Sponge|sea sponge]] who lives in a [[SpongeBob's house|pineapple]] with his pet snail Gary in the underwater city of [[Bikini Bottom]]. He works as a fry cook at the [[Krusty Krab]], a job which he is exceptionally skilled at and enjoys thoroughly. He attends [[Mrs. Puff's Boating School]], and his greatest dream in life is to receive his boating license. Unfortunately, he tenses up whenever he has to drive a [[boatmobile]], and he drives recklessly. SpongeBob is very good-natured and loves to hang out with his best friend {{Link|Patrick}}. His driving teacher is [[Mrs. Puff]] and his boss is [[Mr. Krabs]].

In ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (musical)|The SpongeBob Musical]]'', SpongeBob's exact species of sea sponge is identified: ''{{W|Aplysina fistularis}}'', a yellow sea sponge who's commonly found in open waters.&lt;ref&gt;[[SpongeBob SquarePants (musical)]]&lt;/ref&gt;

SpongeBob or some other form of him appears or is mentioned in every episode of the series, beginning with the series' pilot episode "[[Help Wanted]]." He is voiced by [[Tom Kenny]], who is married to [[Karen Plankton]]'s voice actress, [[Jill Talley]].

==Production details==
[[File:SpongeBob Phylum Porifera sea sponge.png|thumb|260px|SpongeBob is a poriferan, better known as a sea sponge. In this promo art, he is shown with his scientific classification.]]
[[File:SpongeBob in Underwater Friends.png|thumb|260px|SpongeBob with his real-life counterpart, as seen in the book ''[[Underwater Friends]]''.]]
While Stephen Hillenburg worked as a teacher of marine science at the Ocean Institute in California, he authored an educational book called ''[[The Intertidal Zone]]''. The book was intended for children and taught about the behaviors of different sea creatures. [[Bob the Sponge]], a natural sea sponge with sunglasses, was the "host" of the book.

Hillenburg revisited the concept of ''The Intertidal Zone'' in {{Time|1996}} when he started sketching concepts for a cartoon series about undersea life. He wanted the title character to be an under-represented creature, with the rest of the main characters being iconic and easily recognizable sea animals: a [[Eugene H. Krabs|crab]], a [[Pearl Krabs|whale]], and a [[Patrick Star|starfish]]. "What's the weirdest animal? The sponge came to mind," he recalled in 2012.&lt;ref&gt;https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/stephen-hillenburg-spongebob-squarepants-creator-dies&lt;/ref&gt; As he drew a sea sponge character, he originally wanted to use the shape of a natural sponge, but later decided that a "squeaky-clean square" would better portray a nerdy personality.

An early colored sketch portrayed SpongeBob as wearing a red hat with a green base and a white business shirt with a tie. SpongeBob's look gradually progressed to brown pants that were used in the final design. SpongeBob was designed to be a kid-like character who was goofy and optimistic in a style similar to that made famous by {{W|Jerry Lewis}}.&lt;ref name="goodlife"&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.usatoday.com/money/covers/2002-05-17-sponge-bob.htm|title=Life's good for SpongeBob |last=Strauss|first=Gary|date=2002-05-17|publisher=USA Today|accessdate=2008-11-08}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The character was originally going to be named "[[SpongeBoy]]," but the name was already in use by a mop product &amp; copyrighted. This was discovered after voice acting for the original seven-minute pilot was recorded in 1997.&lt;ref name="Radio"&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.thepeoplespeakradio.net/archives/mp3/tps-2006-12-05-kenny.mp3 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724101824/http://www.thepeoplespeakradio.net/archives/mp3/tps-2006-12-05-kenny.mp3 |publisher = The People Speak Radio |archivedate = 2011-07-24 |accessdate = 2008-11-08}}&lt;/ref&gt; Upon finding this out, Hillenburg decided that the character's given name still had to contain "Sponge" so viewers would not mistake the character for a "Cheese Man," and decided to use the name "SpongeBob." He chose "SquarePants" as a family name as it referred to the character's square shape and it had a "nice ring to it."&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=Makin' Toons: Inside the Most Popular Animated TV Shows and Movies|publisher=Allworth Press|date=2003-04-01|accessdate=2008-11-08}}&lt;/ref&gt;

When Hillenburg pitched ''SpongeBob'' to [[Nickelodeon]] in 1997, the network gave him an order: they would only produce the show if SpongeBob was a kid who went to school, like "Arnold from ''Hey Arnold!'' under the sea."&lt;ref name="tbivision"&gt;[https://tbivision.com/2009/10/27/spongebob-squarepants-creator-steve-hillenburg/7414/ TBIVision: 'SpongeBob SquarePants' creator Steve Hillenburg]&lt;/ref&gt; Hillenburg was prepared to "walkout" on Nickelodeon, as writing SpongeBob as a school-age child went against his creative vision.&lt;ref name="bigpopfun"&gt;[http://www.webcitation.org/6M1QBJ1BZ Stephen Hillenburg, artist and animator]&lt;/ref&gt; However, he came up with [[Mrs. Puff]] and her [[Mrs. Puff's Boating School|Boating School]] as a compromise, allowing SpongeBob to attend school as an adult. Hillenburg was very fond of the "way things worked out," as Nickelodeon's order brought in a whole new main character, "Mrs. Puff, who I love."&lt;ref name="bigpopfun"/&gt;

SpongeBob is voiced by veteran voice actor Tom Kenny. Tom Kenny had previously worked with Hillenburg on ''{{W|Rocko's Modern Life}}'', and when Hillenburg created ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', he approached Kenny to voice the character. Hillenburg used Kenny's and other actors' personalities to help create the personality of SpongeBob.&lt;ref name="Radio" /&gt;

Kenny first used the voice for SpongeBob for a minor female alligator character called Al on ''Rocko's Modern Life'' who appeared in the episode "[[w:c:rockosmodernlife:Dear John|Dear John]]." This is also the first time Kenny and Stephen Hillenburg worked together. Hillenburg wanted Kenny to use that voice for SpongeBob, so he showed him a clip of Al in ''Rocko's Modern Life'' to remind Kenny of the voice.&lt;ref name="Radio" /&gt; Kenny says that SpongeBob's high-pitched laugh was specifically aimed at being unique, stating that they wanted an annoying laugh in the tradition of {{W|Popeye}} and {{W|Woody Woodpecker}}.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/12/27/earlyshow/leisure/celebspot/main534521.shtml?source=search_story|title=SpongeBob's Alter Ego|date=2002-12-30|publisher=CBS News|accessdate=2008-11-08}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' broadcast in non-English languages, the voice actors dubbing SpongeBob's voice use Tom Kenny's rendition of the character as a starting point but also add unique elements. For example, the French version has SpongeBob with a slight {{W|Daffy Duck}}-style lisp.&lt;ref name="Radio" /&gt;

==Biography==
[[File:SpongeBob-character-profile.png|thumb|SpongeBob's character file.]]
According to his driver's license in an episode produced in [[Timeline:1999|1999]], "[[Sleepy Time]]," SpongeBob SquarePants was born on July 14, 1986. If episode airdates/production correlated with the time set in an episode, this would make him 13 years old at the time of the episode's airing and production. SpongeBob's license is seen again with this birthdate in "[[No Free Rides]]," but all further appearances of it remove the birthdate. He celebrates four respective unspecified birthdays in the episodes "[[I Had an Accident]]," "[[SpongeBob Meets the Strangler]]," "[[Waiting]]," and "[[SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout]]." In the latter, he nearly reveals his age but is narrowly cut off by the episode's ending, making it a mystery. Stephen Hillenburg once joked that SpongeBob is 50 in "sponge years." Taking into account the average lifespan of a yellow tube sponge being just over 100 years, this would make him middle-aged. Jokes aside, Hillenburg explained that SpongeBob actually has no specific age, but that "he is old enough to be on his own and still be going to driving school" (firmly confirming him to be an adult).

He lives with his pet sea snail named Gary in a large pineapple-shaped house on {{Link|124 Conch Street}}, [[Bikini Bottom]]. His next-door neighbor, [[Squidward Tentacles]], who lives in an [[122 Conch Street|Easter Island head]], is constantly annoyed by his antics.

SpongeBob is oblivious to this and believes Squidward to be his friend. Beside Squidward's house is the home of SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick Star, who lives under a [[Patrick Star's house|rock]].

SpongeBob works at the Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom's most popular restaurant, where he is a fry cook and prepares all food served at the restaurant, most notably Krabby Patties.

In "[[Help Wanted]]," SpongeBob applied for this job. He says that it has been his lifelong dream to join the Krusty Crew and that only now is he "ready." When he applies for the job, Squidward and Mr. Krabs, wanting no part of him, send him on a fool's errand for a "[[hydro-dynamic spatula]] with port and starboard attachments and turbo drive." While he is out searching for one, several hundred hungry [[anchovies]] arrive and overwhelm Squidward and Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob soon returns, having found a hydrodynamic spatula, and saves their lives by feeding the anchovies, showing off his amazing cooking skills in the process.

[[SpongeBob's house]] is an orange pineapple with fully furnished windows and doors and has a gas pipe. When he first moved to Bikini Bottom, he viewed many different houses, but none seemed to his liking. Just as he was about to give up, a pineapple from a boat above the waterfalls into the sea and lands onto the space that was Squidward's garden where Squidward was still gardening. He loves the house and buys it, leaving Squidward in misery by losing his garden and having SpongeBob living next to him. However, in ''[[The Patrick Star Show]]'' episode "[[Who's a Big Boy?]]" SpongeBob bumps into his future house as a teenager while it's still under construction and already under the water, along with Squidward's house.

SpongeBob is not only extremely good at his job, being able to produce a Krabby Patty within seconds, but also has a strong passion and an abnormal love for it; something of a workaholic, he enjoys his job more than any other activity and is saddened whenever he cannot be at work. He is also obsessed with Krabby Patties themselves; on numerous occasions, he has proclaimed them the best food in the world, and in "[[Just One Bite]]" and "[[Shuffleboarding]]," he is shocked and horrified to see one thrown away. He is very good at his job because he is the "Vice Assistant General Manager of Certain Things"{{e|Stanley S. SquarePants}}. He also has been shown making a perfect Krabby Patty on his first try when he was a baby.

SpongeBob's skills as a fry cook could accurately be described as superhuman; in episodes such as "[[Help Wanted]]" and "[[Employee of the Month]]," he is seen making them at rates of hundreds or even thousands per minute. He has won 374 consecutive Employee of the Month awards at the Krusty Krab. In "[[Friend or Foe]]," it is shown that SpongeBob, as an infant, made a perfect patty on his first attempt. In "[[Neptune's Spatula]]," he can pull the [[golden spatula]] from the grease, making him the "chosen one" of [[King Neptune]]. In that same episode, it is shown that the burgers made by Neptune himself are horrible compared to SpongeBob's.

While not working, SpongeBob spends much of his time playing with his best friend, Patrick Star. Patrick is childish, moronic, and fun-loving. The two have known each other since their early childhood, and are members of the "Best Friends Forever Club."{{e|[[The Secret Box]]}}

Their usual activities include jellyfishing, bubble blowing, and various others. The two's antics are of constant annoyance to their neighbor, Squidward, and he has been repeatedly put into harm's way as a result of their actions. Because of this, he has tried to move away numerous times but always ends up returning.

Despite Squidward claiming to hate SpongeBob and Patrick, they are completely oblivious to this and believe they are his best friends. Squidward is usually shown to dislike SpongeBob in particular, but the two share a close relationship. Squidward has hinted that he likes SpongeBob a lot more than he lets on. In "[[Graveyard Shift]]," he admits this when he tells SpongeBob, "No matter what I've said, I've always sort of liked you!" Also, in "[[SB-129]]," he misses SpongeBob after becoming trapped in a [[Nowhere (dimension)|blank dimension]].

One of SpongeBob's good friends is a squirrel from [[Texas (place)|Texas]] named Sandy Cheeks, who wears a special suit and [[Sandy's air helmet|helmet]] to survive underwater. When SpongeBob [[Tea at the Treedome|first met]] Sandy, she invited SpongeBob to her airtight [[Sandy's treedome|home]], and SpongeBob, not knowing what air is, accepted. After giving in to his need to breathe water, SpongeBob and Patrick got bowls of water to wear over their heads from Sandy, which they typically wear whenever they visit the treedome. Sandy enjoys SpongeBob's company and they enjoy doing extreme sports together, most notably karate.

SpongeBob's skill in karate are shown to vary quite considerably; for example, in "[[Karate Choppers]]," where he equals and even outmatches Sandy in skill. However, at most other times he is so weak to the point where Sandy can send him flying a considerable distance with a single punch. In "[[Karate Island]]," Sandy openly states that her karate skills are better than SpongeBob's by "a country mile."

Another of SpongeBob's friends is Pearl the whale. According to "[[Bossy Boots]]," she thinks he is "full of style," "oozes fashion," and most importantly, "is a great pal." Pearl goes to prom with SpongeBob in "[[The Chaperone]]." In "[[Tunnel of Glove]]," it is revealed that Pearl's classmates think SpongeBob is her boyfriend, and SpongeBob inadvertently supports this by saying "Well, I ''am'' a boy, and I ''am'' her friend." The two then go on the [[Tunnel of Glove (ride)|Tunnel of Glove]] ride together. In "[[A Cabin in the Kelp]]," Pearl uses SpongeBob as a way to prank the [[Gal Pals]], as her suspicion detects that the titular group will prank her first and is utterly saddened by the fact SpongeBob is missing. She is later delighted about how SpongeBob is safe but is just lost within a forest.

SpongeBob attends Mrs. Puff's Boating School, where he is taught by his idolized teacher Mrs. Puff. He studies extremely hard for school and knows every answer to the oral exam, but he becomes extremely nervous when actually behind the wheel of a boat, causing him to fail the final exam every time. According to the episode "[[Mrs. Puff, You're Fired]]," SpongeBob has failed the exam 1,258,056 times, and is the only creature in the history of the school to fail the test.

Despite his inability to drive a boatmobile properly, SpongeBob is able to drive/ride various other things capably, including [[Pizza Delivery|a rock]], [[Sandy's Rocket (spaceship)|a rocket ship]], [[Patty Wagon|a sandwich car]], and [[Sandy's submarine|a submarine]]. SpongeBob claims that he does know how to drive, but simply panics behind the wheel and cannot concentrate. In "[[Mrs. Puff, You're Fired]]," SpongeBob receives extremely good training from Mrs. Puff's very tough military-like replacement and learns how to drive capably, but can only do so while blindfolded due to the teacher's strict drills and very specific teaching methods.

==Description==
[[File:SpongeBob-character-model-colors-Pantone.jpg|thumb|250px|SpongeBob's official color palette (top) includes 16 colors, plus black and white.]]
SpongeBob is a sea sponge with a rectangular shape. He is light yellow (whose exact shade of yellow is designated by Pantone to be SpongeBob Yellow&lt;ref&gt;https://www.pantone.com/articles/press-releases/nickelodeon-and-the-pantone-color-institute-launch-spongebob-yellow-and-patrick-star-pink&lt;/ref&gt;) with a light olive-green outline. In earlier episodes, he is wider near the top and gets skinnier going further down, akin to that of a trapezoid. However, in the more recent episodes, he is more of a regular square shape. SpongeBob has light olive-green pores, dimples with three freckles on each cheek, a large mouth with two prominent front buck teeth, a long, slightly curved nose, and large light blue eyes. Moreover, his eye color seems to be, uniquely, a shade of pacific blue (or Crayola cerulean,) complimenting the blue ocean background. Furthermore, he has three exceptionally wide, exposed, and effeminate eyelashes on each eye, which have sometimes - during close-ups in particular - been shown to be numerous eyelashes akin to a human, which is best prominent in "[[Tutor Sauce]]" when he is seen breathing heavily during a close-up. Although rarely seen in the series, he has light yellow hair that goes hand-in-hand with his skin color, as seen on his driver's license, the spin-off series "[[The Patrick Star Show]]," and in the episode "[[The Sponge Who Could Fly]]." However, in the episode "[[Krusty Krab Training Video]]," he instead has a simple strand of black hair.

He typically wears a white shirt with a scarlet-red tie, black leather shoes with white shoelaces, white socks with blue and red stripes, and brown rectangular [[SpongeBob's pants|pants]] with a black belt. While working at the Krusty Krab, he wears a tall, white [[Krusty Krab employee hat|hat]] with a small blue anchor illustration on it as a uniform. SpongeBob usually sleeps in his briefs, and at other times-beginning with [[season 5]]-pajamas. However, he occasionally sleeps with his entire outfit on, which was more common in the show's earlier seasons.

In various spin-off media, he's slightly redesigned. In ''[[Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years]]'', his outfit stays mostly the same as in the original show, but now he wears a red cap and a handkerchief, as well as brown boots. In ''[[The Patrick Star Show]]'', SpongeBob has a bit of yellow hair on his head, wears a bow tie and black and white saddle shoes.

Though SpongeBob has always been voiced by Tom Kenny, his voice has changed throughout the series; his voice is lower than normal in [[season 1]]; after [[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie|the first movie]], his voice noticeably changes, increasing in pitch, along with other changes. After [[season 7]], his voice slightly decreases in pitch.

Even though he's a sea sponge, he has legs and he's able to move, just like the other sponges in the show. This is pointed out in "[[I Had an Accident]]," when he says that he will stay in his house forever, and he shouldn't have even been walking in the first place because he's a sponge.

===Health===
While SpongeBob is generally lucky in life and healthy, he has on several occasions faced health problems in the series, which are usually caused by his persistent gullibility to fall for antagonists' antics or simply by accident. On a side note, he is an invertebrate and thus lacks bones, making him immune to physical harm; however, this varies greatly by episode, as sometimes SpongeBob is depicted as having bones and thus prone to suffering injuries, while in other episodes, most notably "[[The Bully]]," he has none and is, therefore, accepting of his aforementioned injuries. Like most other characters from the show, he has faced many fatal injuries and near-death experiences. However, due to cartoon physics and negative continuity, he sometimes recovers immediately afterward without medical support. Such instances are played for comedy and do not affect the plot, therefore they will be overlooked when taking into account his health. However, SpongeBob has on more than one occasion faced ongoing medical conditions and injuries that have even been the core of the plot.

The first prominent instance of SpongeBob's health interference is in "[[Tea at the Treedome]]," where he for the first time enters air pollution, [[Sandy's treedome]] in particular, after having met a [[Sandy Cheeks|new friend]], and due to the insufficient amount of water in her house, starts to shrivel up before eventually passing out--along with Patrick--on the ground from hypothermia. Both he and Patrick are subsequently revived by Sandy's new creation, [[water helmets]].

SpongeBob's health interference is also a plot point of "[[Suds]]," where he becomes infected by the [[Suds (disease)|eponymous disease]] which gives him a cold and causes him to sneeze pink bubbles through his pores. He caught it from accidentally leaving his freezer open overnight and falling asleep in the kitchen. "Doctor Patrick" tries to cure SpongeBob by using many ridiculous methods. He is eventually cured by the [[Purple Doctorfish]] utilizing a special treatment exclusive to sponges.

Additionally, in "[[Prehibernation Week]]," Sandy takes SpongeBob on numerous increasingly dangerous adventures in which they participate in extreme sports games, drastically injuring SpongeBob and taking a toll on his health in the process.

At the end of "[[Survival of the Idiots]]," Sandy, having had her fur ripped off by the duo, uses SpongeBob and Patrick's bodies as a replacement; since the two are in her treedome and have no provision of water whatsoever, they nearly die from hypothermia.

In "[[Squirrel Jokes]]," SpongeBob suffers from hypothermia yet again upon entrance of Sandy's treedome and is given too much water by her through the provision of a hose, inflating him to the point of taking up the dome's capacity.

SpongeBob's health is put at risk in "[[The Bully]]" when a new classmate, [[Flats the Flounder]], joins and threatens to kick SpongeBob's butt. Concerned for his safety, SpongeBob pulls off many attempts to hide from the bully and expose him, but no one in town can help him. As a result, SpongeBob comes to terms with Flats ending his life and willingly lets him "kick [his] butt." However, SpongeBob's body simply absorbs Flats' punches, leading to no harm whatsoever; in fact, SpongeBob lets Flats harming him be a normal part of his routine until the latter passes out unconscious in class the following day.

In "[[No Weenies Allowed]]," he breaks his fingers after a failed attempt to crack his knuckles and soaks them in an ice cream sundae to heal them. Towards the end of the episode, after his goal of being tough enough to enter [[The Salty Spitoon]] is finally achieved, he slips on an ice cube and falls to the ground injured, having to be sent into an ambulance afterward. Due to him describing his condition as "boo-boos," the Purple Doctorfish suggests he seeks care at [[Weenie Hut General]].

In "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]," SpongeBob and the rest of IJLSA ([[The International Justice League of Super Acquaintances]]) team were left injured and thus hospitalized following their battle with the E.V.I.L. (Every Villain Is Lemons). SpongeBob, in particular, has to use a wheelchair and wear a cast over his head to counteract his injury.

In "[[I Had an Accident]]," SpongeBob faces a sandboarding accident in which he severely injures his buttocks and is thereafter sent to the hospital. His injury was nearly fatal as each piece of his buttocks was glued back together and taped, and he would have been permanently subject to the [[Iron Butt]] under much worse circumstances.

In "[[Krabby Land]]," he suffers much harm which includes having soap in the eye, being beaten up, and being forced to eat beans while entertaining the children.

In ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'', SpongeBob and Patrick are kidnapped by the [[Cyclops]] and placed on a table above which a lamp sits. Due to the pressure of the lamp's heat, SpongeBob and Patrick start to shrivel up and eventually pass away. However, the tear they shared beforehand finds its way into a power outlet and thus activates the ceiling sprinkler system, thereafter reviving them.

Sometime during the events of "[[Funny Pants]]," SpongeBob underwent surgery to have his [[laugh box]] transplanted to Squidward out of sympathy for the latter rupturing his own.

In "[[Krusty Towers]]," SpongeBob alongside Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward are sent to the hospital and treated in medical beds following the fatal destruction of the [[Krusty Towers (building)|eponymous hotel]], which the group was in during the incident.

In "[[Fungus Among Us]]," SpongeBob finds a suspicious green substance known as "[[ick]]" on his bedroom floor and attempts to clean it up, but fails and as a result, the ick contaminates him and becomes contagious. Due to his unhealthy status, the [[SWAT Team]] arrives on the scene at the Krusty Krab and quarantines SpongeBob in a plastic bubble in his house, which is eventually popped due to Patrick's moronic actions. He is cured towards the end of the episode when Gary uses his slime to rid everyone of the ick.

In "[[The Splinter]]," SpongeBob trips and falls off of the ceiling of the Krusty Krab kitchen in a failed attempt to retrieve his spatula, therefore falling on the wooden ground and having a splinter lodged into his thumb. He goes to Patrick to seek medical attention; however, due to the latter's unprofessional remedies and overall lack of a medical license, only makes matters worse by hammering it further into his thumb, which not only causes SpongeBob more pain but also causes his thumb to swell up severely and produce pus. He is finally cured when Mr. Krabs, with his great strength and claws, simply pulls it out, essentially inverting his injury and thus returning him to normal.

In "[[A Life in a Day]]," Patrick's obsession with emulating [[Larry the Lobster]] goes to his head and prompts him to bring SpongeBob along to perform the most extreme stunt yet: crashing into [[Ripper's Reef]], an island consisting of stalagmites. The aftermath of this stunt lands the duo along with Larry--who got injured while trying to save them--in the hospital, covered in bandages and wearing casts over their heads.

In "[[Stuck in the Wringer]]," SpongeBob gets stuck in his [[SpongeBob's wringer|bathroom wringer]] while trying to rinse himself off and thereby calls Patrick for help; however, instead of helping him, he surrounds the wringer with superglue, impeding his escape. Throughout the episode, SpongeBob uncontrollably moves very clumsily and interferes with the public due to his disorderly condition. His health continues to deteriorate as he is unable to consume food or drink due to the wringer's blockage of his digestive system and gets a black eye at the carnival due to incompatibility with his restraint condition and the rides' pressure. He is cured at the end of the episode when both he and Patrick cry an abundance of tears to dissolve the glue, essentially facilitating his escape from the wringer.

In "[[The Hot Shot]]," he gets into a boat accident which leads to him getting injured and being in a body cast at the end of the episode.

SpongeBob has also been shown to have some mental health problems before. This becomes evident in "[[InSPONGEiac]]" after he fails to fall asleep and develops {{W|insomnia}} as a plot point. Likewise, in "[[SpongeBob's Bad Habit]]", he develops an obsessive routine of biting his own and others' fingernails.

In "[[Two Thumbs Down]]," after giving so many people thumbs-ups, SpongeBob eventually develops sore thumbs and ultimately loses the use of them, having to put them in mini wheelchairs to counteract his injury at the hospital.

In "[[Unreal Estate]]," after Squidward invades his house at night and covers it in [[pepper]], the resulting reactions make SpongeBob believe that he is allergic to his own home and set up the conflict of him having to go find a new one.

In "[[Sportz?]]," Squidward forces SpongeBob and Patrick to engage in many increasingly excruciating sports games in an attempt to get them killed. Near the end they pass out severely injured on the sports field before Squidward's karma is served.

==Personality==
SpongeBob is a fun-loving, hyperactive, clueless, and childish sea sponge with a happy-go-lucky personality. Despite being portrayed this way, he is relatively smart and knows about what is right, an example being telling Patrick angrily not to draw his picture of calling Mrs. Puff a "big, fat, meanie" because she's a teacher. He is extremely determined and will often stop at nothing to accomplish a task. He is also somewhat dramatic to the people who are kind to him: for example, to the [[Incidental 154|mailfish]].{{e|Karate Island}} He is also over-confident. Sometimes, though, he shows his devious side when trying to get {{Link|Mr. Krabs}} and {{Link|Plankton}} to work together.{{e|The Other Patty}} He sometimes makes mountains out of molehills, such as losing [[SpongeBob's name tag|his name tag]].{{e|Missing Identity}} It is also suggested that he deceived the Tattletale Strangler in an elaborate plot to get him back to jail.{{e|SpongeBob Meets The Strangler}}

[[File:Best Day Ever 24.jpg|thumb|left|SpongeBob singing the "Best Day Ever" song.]] 
SpongeBob is very kind-hearted and innocent, and very rarely acts openly mean to anyone, even those who find him an annoyance and act cruelly to him. He is a very selfless and loyal person, especially towards those close to him. His selfless nature is most notably shown in "[[Best Day Ever]]," where he sacrifices his "perfect day" to help his friends. Despite his well-meaning intentions, SpongeBob's actions often annoy and cause trouble for those around him, most notably his next-door neighbor, [[Squidward Tentacles]].

SpongeBob can become scared easily and usually panics when frightened. He is afraid of the dark {{e|Night Light}} and clowns {{e|Rodeo Daze}}. He also hates [[Volcano Sauce|hot sauce]].{{e|Karate Choppers}} Occasionally, SpongeBob is too ignorant to notice impending danger and his unworldly thinking may put himself or others in peril. He also cannot detect lies or malice as easily as the other characters, mainly due to his naïve nature. In "[[A Pal for Gary]]," when Gary is being violently attacked and nearly eaten by [[Puffy Fluffy]], SpongeBob takes no action and instead accuses Gary of harassing Puffy. Another example is "[[Home Sweet Rubble]]," when it takes SpongeBob a few moments to realize that his house is in serious need or repair.

Furthermore, SpongeBob also goes to great lengths to impress others and achieve his goals as seen in "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II]]," where SpongeBob wrongly attacks an innocent [[Atomic Flounder]] to impress Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. SpongeBob attempts to steal Patrick's box in "[[The Secret Box]]." He also tries to steal [[Betsy Krabs]]' underwear along with Patrick and Mr. Krabs in "[[Mid-Life Crustacean]]." In "[[Doing Time]]," SpongeBob and Patrick force the receptionist of the local bank to give them all his money. This was done in an attempt to get arrested and free Mrs. Puff from jail. In "[[Hall Monitor]]," SpongeBob enters the window of a couple's house and disturbs them while on hall monitor duties. In "[[The Thing]]," SpongeBob and Patrick break into the zoo at night to free "Smelly" from his cage. In "[[Safe Deposit Krabs]]," he and Patrick break into the local bank at night to free Mr. Krabs from the safe vault. In "[[The Great Snail Race]]," SpongeBob overexerts Gary as a preparation method for the following snail race. This causes extreme discomfort to Gary and eventually results in him collapsing on his way to the finish line; however, SpongeBob eventually noticed the error in his ways. [[File:Employee of the Month 145.png|thumb|left|260px|SpongeBob traps Squidward in a bottle in the episode "[[Employee of the Month]]."]] In "[[Employee of the Month]]," SpongeBob sets up many traps on Squidward in an attempt to sabotage his Employee of the Month Award. In "[[Just One Bite]]," SpongeBob handcuffs himself to Squidward, forcing him to eat a Krabby Patty. In "[[Shuffleboarding]]," he and Patrick, while dressed as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy respectively, go around arresting citizens for actions that do not count as crimes, such as chewing gum too loudly and being too old. In "[[SpongeBob's Last Stand]]," SpongeBob and Patrick resist the government-sanctioned construction of the [[Shelly Superhighway]] and encourage the rest of the town to join their protest [[Give Jellyfish Fields a Chance|through a song]]. The police eventually notice the boys rebelling against the government's authority and imprison them in the middle of nowhere. However, on SpongeBob's part, his arrest was for playing the sitar without a license.

SpongeBob also feels the need to impress Mr. Krabs and to protect the Krusty Krab and the Krabby Patty secret formula at all costs. In "[[Call the Cops]]," SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs impersonate police officers in hopes of retrieving the secret formula. He also likes to impress his boating teacher, Mrs. Puff, despite his reckless driving. Beginning with "[[Boating School]]," an ongoing plot point is SpongeBob failing his driver's test due to his inability to drive safely. His poor driving skills have caused him to run over pedestrians, rapidly switch lanes, drive on the sidewalk, crashing into buildings and property, harm his passengers, and lastly damage his vehicle. Despite all the damage he causes, SpongeBob is never arrested or charged for his dangerous driving; instead, Mrs. Puff is, who the authorities believe is failing to educate him.

These actions can often lead to SpongeBob entering by trespassing. SpongeBob and Patrick have a frequent tendency to enter Squidward's house without his consent, which reaches its epitome in "[[Good Neighbors]]" and becomes a plot point of the said episode. Additionally, in "[[Survival of the Idiots]]," he and Patrick invade Sandy's treedome during the winter with little regard to the "Keep Out" sign on her door. In "[[The Thing]]," after getting caught by the SWAT Team, SpongeBob and Patrick hide from them by trespassing into the sewers. SpongeBob also invades the sewers with Squidward in "[[The Sewers of Bikini Bottom]]," although they did it to retrieve the safe, so this can be justified. In "[[Toy Store of Doom]]," SpongeBob and Patrick stay in [[Toy Barrel]] past its open hours and hide in a dollhouse so as not to be caught by the security guard.

[[File:Driven to Tears 178.png|thumb|left|SpongeBob in jail in the episode "[[Driven to Tears]]."]] 
SpongeBob's personality trait of wanting to impress others and achieve his goals has to lead to him having a history. However, due to his naïvety and gullibility, a lot of these crimes have been committed unintentionally or through the manipulation of others, mainly Squidward, Plankton, Karen, or Mr. Krabs. He has been arrested a total of seven times: for "stealing" a balloon in "[[Life of Crime]]," attempting to rob a bank in "[[Doing Time]]," failing to invite the police to his party in "[[Party Pooper Pants]]," littering Patrick's driver's license in "[[Driven to Tears]]," playing sitar without a license in "[[SpongeBob's Last Stand]]," falsely accused public disturbance in "[[Cave Dwelling Sponge]]," and unintentionally terrorizing a majority of [[Bubbletown (location)|Bubbletown]] in the [[Bubbletown|episode of the same name]].

SpongeBob's innocence also makes him overly trusting and very gullible{{e|Gullible Pants}}, easily manipulated by people who intend to use and/or harm him, such as Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton, and he is clumsy. In "[[Walking Small]]," SpongeBob assists Plankton in driving the attendants at [[Goo Lagoon]] away to make an unauthorized development to its property. However, this was done out of manipulation, and SpongeBob regrets his actions after learning Plankton's motive, therefore returning the beach to its previous state. In "[[Sandy's Rocket]]," SpongeBob and Patrick go around capturing everyone in [[Bikini Bottom]] and trapping them in the spaceship, believing that the entire population is formed of aliens.

Even though he is generally good-natured and easygoing, SpongeBob can get angered easily. When frustrated and angered, SpongeBob can be sarcastic, rude, and condescending to his friends, even Mr. Krabs{{e|Can You Spare a Dime?}}, whom he treats as a father figure. Squidward is the only character whom SpongeBob never insults when he is angry, except for the episodes "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]" and "[[Breath of Fresh Squidward]]." 

In "[[Hooky]]," SpongeBob is encouraged by Patrick to ditch work during his shift, which causes the unsupervised grill to produce mass amounts of smoke. In "[[Hall Monitor]]," he lets his rank of hall monitor go to his head and becomes known as the maniac for his destruction of the city before receiving a scolding from his teacher who was arrested for it. During "[[Ditchin']]," SpongeBob ditches boating school to attend the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy meet and greet, which affects his driver's education and eventually gets Mrs. Puff arrested. He believed [[King Neptune's trident]] was his spatula and decided to help all of Bikini Bottom when he was destroying the town after going mad with power in "[[Trident Trouble]]." Even Santa stated in [[Goons on the Moon]], that he is a menace despite his good nature.

Despite his overall kindness, SpongeBob occasionally shows a lack of empathy for others and forces people into situations against their will. In the episode "[[Rodeo Daze]]," he kidnaps the [[Bikini Bottomites]] with [[Superb Bubble|bubbles]] in persuasion for them to save {{Link|Sandy}} from a rodeo. Additionally, in the episode "[[A SquarePants Family Vacation]]," he sends his friends letters promising that everything they love will be at his house, only for it to be a hoax and a plea for them to view his slideshow.

Although SpongeBob has several friends, and many of the citizens of [[Bikini Bottom]] often treat him quite friendly, most, if not all, citizens of the city have been shown to have some degree of dislike for him. In the episode "[[Gone]]," it is shown that a holiday called "[[National No SpongeBob Day]]" has been started by the citizens of Bikini Bottom. As its name suggests, it is an entire day dedicated to getting away from SpongeBob, where the people leave Bikini Bottom for the day. Even {{Link|Patrick}} goes, stating that everyone needs at least one day away from SpongeBob's laughter. In the ceremony, they build a giant wooden effigy of SpongeBob, burn it down, dance on the ashes, and depart Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob is more honored than insulted by this, as he was the "inspiration" for the holiday.

==Abilities and talents==
[[File:I Had an Accident 037.png|thumb|158px|SpongeBob's broken bones in "[[I Had an Accident]]."]] SpongeBob has been shown to have numerous extraordinary abilities and attributes throughout the series.

*'''Absorbency:''' Being a sponge, he is also absorbent, and can expand his body by absorbing liquids. Sometimes when SpongeBob cries, he re-absorbs his tears. An example is in "[[The Bully]]" when [[Flats the Flounder]] kept on hitting him, but SpongeBob just absorbed all of his blows. Also, in "[[I Had an Accident]]," he filter feeds through his holes, as he is a sponge.
*'''Boneless:''' SpongeBob is usually shown to be boneless since sea sponges are invertebrates. However, in some episodes, such as "[[I Had an Accident]]," bones are shown on his X-rays. He also has bones when his skin is ripped off in "[[Atlantis SquarePantis]]" and "[[The Splinter]]." He can also squeeze through and fit in things.
*'''[[Bubble blowing]]:''' SpongeBob can perform extraordinary moves with bubbles, most notably exhibited in "[[Bubblestand]]." It is considered along with jellyfishing as his and Patrick's favorite hobby.
*'''Destruction:''' SpongeBob has a degree of talent in destruction, but most of the cases show that he mostly performed this involuntary due to his gullible and reckless personality, Although he does not know it and thanks to his poor driving skills, SpongeBob is skilled at demolition derbies. This is shown in "[[Demolition Doofus]]," as SpongeBob manages to defeat five other competitors, although inadvertently, also surviving Mrs. Puff's murderous attack.
*'''Culinary Creativity:''' He has made variations of Krabby Patty, even disgusting ones: "The Nasty Patty," "Secret Patty," "The Nature Patty," "Double Krabby Patty With Everything," "Crying Johnny," "Double Triple Bossy Deluxe Patty," "Krabby Patty Pizza," "Krabby Patty with Jellyfish Jelly"... just to name a few.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ecTZVzjFVM Every Krabby Patty EVER!]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC3BIJfPzJo Every Krabby Patty Ranked by GROSSNESS! ]&lt;/ref&gt;
*'''Driving (anything but a boatmobile):''' He can drive certain objects perfectly, but his nerves get the best of him when driving boats at Mrs. Puff's Boating School. On several occasions, he has been able to conquer his nervousness and demonstrate good driving skills, but he always loses this confidence by the end of the episode.
*'''Fry cooking:''' SpongeBob has a job cooking Krabby Patties at the Krusty Krab.
*'''[[Jellyfishing (sport)|Jellyfishing]]:''' SpongeBob and Patrick jellyfish at [[Jellyfish Fields]] in several episodes. In "[[Jellyfish Hunter]]," he catches every single [[jellyfish]] in the fields.
*'''[[Karate]]:''' He trains for karate with Sandy and, in "[[Karate Choppers]]," is seen to be quite evenly matched with her.
*'''Limb range:''' Like most characters in this series, SpongeBob can stretch his body to unusual extents.
*'''Regeneration:''' It is shown that he can quickly regenerate parts of his body that are injured or removed as this is natural for real sponges. He can also clone himself and reproduce by budding, most notably in "[[Pressure]]."
*'''Enhanced reflexes:''' SpongeBob possesses faster-than-lightning reflexes, being able to react to dangers instantly. Hence, SpongeBob can dodge and react to projectiles and enemy attacks moving at high speeds, such as lasers, arrows, shock waves, bullets, and even lightning. Additionally, SpongeBob's sharp reflexes allow him to react to attacks outside his field of vision.
*'''Stamina and endurance:''' In games such as ''[[Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'', ''[[Nicktoons Unite!]]'', ''[[Plankton's Robotic Revenge]]'', etc., SpongeBob has demonstrated very high stamina, capable of exerting himself to his peak performance for several hours without signs of fatigue. SpongeBob is extremely durable, having survived life-threatening situations multiple times most likely due to his soft and flexible body figure. He has survived multiple traffic collisions, getting caught in the crossfire from all angles from Plankton's Robots, withstand the force of a building collapse, and being struck by opponents with super strength. Additionally, SpongeBob has more than once survived impacts from falls from extreme heights, withstand the force of a nuclear explosion ([[Frozen Face-Off|like how Plankton did once]]), and being struck by fire, electricity, and frozen by ice.
*'''Super speed''': As the Quickster, he can move very fast. Although he is certainly able to run faster than Patrick when he's about to tell Mr. Krabs in "[[Sailor Mouth]]" and Squidward when he's about to chase SpongeBob about the pizza in "[[Pizza Delivery]]."
*'''Leadership''': SpongeBob is a great natural leader for all of his friends in Bikini Bottom.
*'''Teleportation:''' SpongeBob is capable of teleporting in various episodes. Like in "[[The Wreck of the Mauna Loa]]" when he is chasing Patrick in a game of tag, Patrick is looking back at SpongeBob in the other direction, when he imminently bumps into SpongeBob in front of him and in "[[Born to Be Wild]]" he was able to teleport to The Krusty Krab by riding on a bubble.
*'''Ghost Physiology:''' After he and Patrick accidentally shave the Flying Dutchman's beard, the powerful ghost curses SpongeBob and Patrick by stripping them from their flesh and blood, turning them into ghosts. This gives them various ghost powers including intangibility, flight, ectoplasm creation, and turning inanimate objects into the said object's ghost version (SpongeBob creates a ghost version of his spatula by breaking the original one, in which ghost version of the said spatula materializes from its remains). Eventually, the Flying Dutchman has to restore SpongeBob and Patrick to normal due to their newfound cursed powers proving too much for them to handle (SpongeBob can't interact with the realm of the living as he normally would and accidentally passes through the earth's crust while sleeping).
*'''Sneaking:''' SpongeBob can be very sneaky, as seen in "[[Employee of the Month]]."
*'''Levitation:''' SpongeBob can levitate infinitely.
*'''Climbing:''' SpongeBob can climb, as seen in "[[Party Pooper Pants]]" where he climbed on his house.
*'''Singing and nose-playing:''' SpongeBob is shown to possess a fantastic singing voice. He uses his nose as a flute, in which he is very talented. He is also the lead singer in "[[Band Geeks]]." Later, he uses his nose flute in "[[Best Day Ever]]" to drive away from the [[nematodes]] from the Krusty Krab. His nose flute is notably played as a closing note of the [[SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song|''SpongeBob SquarePants'' theme song]].
*'''Whistling:''' He can whistle due to his gap in his buck teeth. This ability is put on display in "[[Mind the Gap]]."
*'''Comedy:''' SpongeBob can do comedy as telling jokes. This is seen well in "[[Squirrel Jokes]]."
*'''Ventriloquism:''' SpongeBob can play around with [[Mini Squidward]] in the episode "[[Squid Wood]]."
*'''Magic tricks:''' SpongeBob is talented at magic tricks in "[[One Trick Sponge]]."
*'''Ice skating:''' SpongeBob can ice skate. This ability is put on display in "[[Shanghaied]]" and "[[Krabs à la Mode]]."
*'''Roller skating:''' He has shown that he can roller skate as seen in "[[Things to Do When Encountering a Legendary Creature]]" and "[[Sportz?]]"
*'''Dancing:''' SpongeBob has shown that he can dance. This ability is put on display in "[[Cave Dwelling Sponge]]."
*'''Ukulele playing:''' SpongeBob is very good at playing his ukulele.
*'''Guitar playing:''' SpongeBob would play guitar in a few episodes. He owns both acoustic and electric guitars.
*'''Soft pliable body:''' Due to his soft, pliable frame, he is capable of shape-shifting, has some degree of invulnerability, being able to absorb many types of physical impact, shown most notably in the episode "[[The Bully]]."
*'''Body part changing:''' He can change his body parts into objects as well as shapeshifting.
*'''Multiplying body parts:''' He can multiply his body parts due to his regeneration.
*'''Multitasking:''' To a certain degree, but it is especially true when he cooks. He can pump out the entire restaurant full of diners with Krabby Burgers. He is not so well at it when driving as he gets distracted.
*'''Cloning:''' He can clone minions of himself by slicing his skin into layers.
*'''Multilingual:''' In the episode "[[Sold!]]," SpongeBob is shown to be able to speak fluent German.
*'''Mimicking:''' He can mimic someone else by shapeshifting. In "[[Mimic Madness]]," he mimics his friends.
*'''Survival skills:''' In "[[To Save a Squirrel]]," SpongeBob and Patrick almost eat each other to survive. Eventually, they are saved by Sandy and no longer had to resort to the desperate measure.
*'''Water breathing:''' Being a sea creature means he can breath underwater.
*'''[[Reef blower (machine)]]''': SpongeBob can use a reef blower to suck or blow things, like when he sucked up all the water in Bikini Bottom in "[[Reef Blower]]."
*'''Tongue-boarding:''' SpongeBob tongue-boards in "[[Prehibernation Week]]," as well in the video games ''[[Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'', ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (video game)]]'', ''[[SpongeBob's Truth or Square]]'', ''[[Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots]]'', ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom]]'' and ''[[Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated]]'' and the book ''[[Tales from Bikini Bottom]]''.
*'''[[Magic Pencil]]:''' The pencil grants the user god-like abilities. The user can create anything and erase anything at will.

==Weaknesses==
*'''Lack of Physical Strength:''' Due to his physiology, SpongeBob's natural physical strength appears to be below average. Even one instance exaggerated this whereupon close inspection, his hand was depicted in the emaciated state as if it was only skin and bone. Although, SpongeBob can sometimes build up strengths he normally isn't capable of possessing by sheer force of will, with his prowess dependent on the writers of the episode.
*'''Fighting:'''  Besides in "[[Karate Choppers]]" and "[[Dunces and Dragons]]," SpongeBob is very bad at fighting. This is best exemplified in "[[Extreme Spots]]."
*'''Gullibility:''' SpongeBob's gullible personality makes him prone to manipulation of others who use him for their gain or make him unknowingly hurt others, physically and emotionally.
*'''Cowardice:''' SpongeBob often lacks the willpower to stand up for himself. Even his arch-nemesis Plankton points this out in "[[Walking Small]]" when beachgoers were walking all over SpongeBob (ironically enough, Plankton himself was forcing SpongeBob to do his bidding in the same episode). Patrick even takes advantage of SpongeBob in "[[Suds]]," "[[Hooky]]," and "[[Rock-a-Bye Bivalve]]." He's also shown to have numerous irrational fears such as the fear of clowns or the dark.
*'''Driving (boatmobile):''' He is not good at driving because he always crashes into buildings and/or hits people with his boat.

==Family==
{{Main|SquarePants family}}SpongeBob has many relatives, most notably his parents, who appear in several episodes. Unlike SpongeBob, who is rectangular, most of SpongeBob's relatives better resemble actual sea sponges, being round in shape and brownish.

In "[[SB-129]]," a robotic descendant of SpongeBob named [[SpongeTron]] is seen, as well as a primitive ancestor. "[[Ugh]]" features a caveman version of SpongeBob known as [[SpongeGar]]. SpongeGar is distinctly different from the primitive sponge seen in "[[SB-129]]," being more evolved and closer to his modern counterpart. "[[Pest of the West]]" features [[SpongeBuck SquarePants]]; an ancestor who saved Dead Eye Gulch in what is now Bikini Bottom from [[Dead Eye Plankton]] in 1882.

==Occupation==
For the majority of the series, SpongeBob takes the job of fry cook in the Krusty Krab. Acting like a workaholic, he treats his career seriously and with dignity. Primarily, he works as the janitor and fry cook, but occasionally takes the role of the cashier and manager.{{e|Squid's Day Off}}

SpongeBob also has been shown to take other jobs, such as the mayor of New Kelp City after saving the citizens from [[The Bubble Poppin' Boys]] in the episode "[[What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?]]" He created the [[Pretty Patties]] and opened his [[Pretty Patties Stand|store]] for them in "[[Patty Hype]]," which was highly successful. Later, the painted food poisoned the many consumers who admired the creation. He also works at [[Fancy!]] during the worker switch in "[[Le Big Switch]]."

SpongeBob has a passionate dedication to his job at the Krusty Krab and firmly refuses to let it go. He even views closing time as the saddest part of the day.
{{e|Born Again Krabs}} and gleefully embraces the 24-hour business of the restaurant in the episodes "[[Graveyard Shift]]" and "[[Fear of a Krabby Patty]]."

His passion for his job often leads to stages of depression and boredom when isolated from it, and he hinders his willingness to give other occupations a chance. In "Bummer Vacation," he pulls off many desperate attempts to return to his job and is reminded of the Krusty Krab with every activity he tries to do while on vacation. In "[[Welcome to the Chum Bucket]]," he is briefly employed at the [[Chum Bucket]] but fails to do any successful work. In "[[Model Sponge]]," SpongeBob seemingly hears he was to be let go but has mistaken himself as the person to vacate his current life. Throughout his unemployed life during the episode, he tries to apply for many jobs, but is not qualified for them, as he is meant for the fry cook role at the Krusty Krab. His most notable obsession with his job is shown in "[[SpongeBob You're Fired]]," in which, after being fired by Mr. Krabs over a nickel, SpongeBob enters a long stage of depression and is not cured until Sandy advises him to find a new job. Taking her advice, SpongeBob applies for as a job as the fry cook at [[Weenie Hut|four]] [[Pizza Piehole|different]] [[Taco Sombrero|rest]][[Wet Noodle|aurants]], only to get fired each time for making food in the form of a Krabby Patty.

==Reception==
Throughout the run of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', the title character has become very popular with both children and adults and has become Nickelodeon's unofficial mascot.

The character's popularity has spread from Nickelodeon's original demographic of two to eleven-year-olds, to teenagers and adults,&lt;ref name=foxgay&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,65225,00.html|title=SpongeBob HotPants?|last=Park|first=Michael Y.|date=2002-10-09|publisher=FOXNews|accessdate=2008-11-09}}&lt;/ref&gt; including college campuses and celebrities such as Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-8350623_ITM|title=SpongeBob cartoon proves its hip to be SquarePants.|last=Imperiale Wellons |first=Nancy|date=2001-05-01|publisher=Orlando Sentinel|accessdate=2008-11-09}}&lt;/ref&gt; {{W|Salon.com}} indicates that the unadulterated innocence of SpongeBob is what makes the character so appealing.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://dir.salon.com/story/ent/movies/review/2004/11/19/SpongeBob/index.html|title=The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie|last=Zacharek|first=Stephanie|date=2004-09-19|publisher=Salon.com|accessdate=2008-11-08}}&lt;/ref&gt; SpongeBob has also become popular with gay men, despite Stephen Hillenburg saying that none of the characters are homosexual.&lt;ref&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2313221.stm&lt;/ref&gt; The character draws fans due to his flamboyant lifestyle and tolerant attitude.&lt;ref name=Icon&gt;{{cite web | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4190699.stm | title=US right attacks SpongeBob video | date= 2005-01-20 | accessdate=2007-06-11 | author=BBC Staff | work=BBC News}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The popularity of SpongeBob translated well into sales figures. In {{Time|2002}}, SpongeBob SquarePants dolls sold at a rate of 75,000 per week, which was faster than {{W|Tickle Me Elmo}} dolls were selling at the time.&lt;ref name="goodlife" /&gt; SpongeBob has gained popularity in Japan, specifically with Japanese women. Parent company Viacom purposefully targeted marketing at women in the country as a method of building the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' brand. Skeptics initially doubted that SpongeBob could be popular in Japan as the character's design is very different from already popular designs.

However, not all reception for SpongeBob has been positive. {{W|AskMen}}'s ''Top 10: Irritating '90s Cartoon Characters'' ranked SpongeBob at number four. The publication said that his well-meaning attitude is "extremely annoying."&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.askmen.com/top_10/entertainment_200/234b_top_10_list.html|title=Top 10: Irritating '90s Cartoon Characters|last=Murphy|first=Ryan|publisher=AskMen|accessdate=2008-11-08}}&lt;/ref&gt; The character has also been involved in several controversies, including some about his sexual orientation.

==Multiverse==
An alternate SpongeBob exists in a world where [[The Algae's Always Greener|Plankton was successful]]. Like his mainstream counterpart, he likes his career, likes promotions, and gets sad when he makes an error in somebody's order. The most significant difference is that he is made co-cashier by Plankton and is employed by him.

An alternate SpongeBob is mentioned in the "[[What if SpongeBob Was Gone? (Gary)|What if SpongeBob Was Gone?]]" shorts. Without SpongeBob, Gary throws a humongous party that ends in disaster, Patrick cannot hunt jellyfish properly, Sandy gets injured when playing karate, and the Krusty Krab ends up in ruins. All would say except Gary, that everything is better with SpongeBob.

'''Squidward'''{{e|Help Wanted}} '''J.'''&lt;ref&gt;[[Karate Choppers (audio commentary)|Audio Commentary for "Karate Choppers"]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]''&lt;/ref&gt; '''Q.'''{{e|Professor Squidward}} '''Tentacles'''{{e|Opposite Day}} (born {{Time|October 9}}&lt;ref&gt;''[[SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014]]''&lt;/ref&gt;) is one of the ten main characters of the {{SBSP}} franchise.&lt;ref&gt;[https://issuu.com/dhosford/docs/sb_character_guide/16 ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' Character Guide]&lt;/ref&gt; He is {{Link|SpongeBob}}'s and {{Link|Patrick}}'s grumpy neighbor and coworker who lives in [[Squidward Tentacles' house|an Easter Island head]]. He is an arrogant artist and musician, and his favorite hobbies are painting self-portraits and playing the [[Squidward's clarinet|clarinet]].

Even though Squidward's name contains the word "squid," he is an octopus, not a squid, as confirmed in many interviews and episodes.&lt;ref&gt;[[Sleepy Time (audio commentary)|Audio Commentary for "Sleepy Time"]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'' - Rodger Bumpass: ''"He's an octopus, but they call him 'Squidward' I have never understood-- I guess Octoword just didn't work for a name."''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;''[[Case of the Sponge "Bob"]]'' - Hillenburg: ''"This is Squidward the octopus... I liked the octopus for this character because they have such a large, bulbous head."''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;"[[The Play's the Thing]]" - Squidward: (referring to his birth) ''"Onto this world, an octopus was born."''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;"[[Sweet and Sour Squid]]" - Plankton: (to Squidward) ''"Cut the comedy, octopus!"''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;"[[Patrick! The Game]]" - Squidward: ''"But I don't have a finbone! I'm an octopus!"''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;"[[Lame and Fortune]]" - Customer: (looking at Squidward) ''"The octopus with the big nose just spit in your food?!"''&lt;/ref&gt; He has the traits of an octopus—a round bulbous head and rectangular pupils—while a squid has a long triangular head and circular eyes, unlike Squidward. Squids have ''ten'' tentacles, many more than Squidward. The series' animators believed that giving him eight limbs would be too burdensome and difficult to animate, which is why he is usually depicted with six limbs. Notable exceptions are brief scenes in "[[Pressure]]" and "[[Sold!]]," in which he has a full set of eight legs. In "[[Feral Friends]]," his exact species is identified: a {{W|giant Pacific octopus}}.

He is a very cynical, selfish and a stick-in-the-mud individual. He works as the cashier at the [[Krusty Krab]], a job he hates on occasion. Squidward is frequently annoyed by SpongeBob's loud and cheerful behavior, but he sometimes sticks up for SpongeBob and sees him as a friend.

==Biography==
Squidward J. Q. Tentacles was born to [[Jeff Tentacles|Jeff]] and [[Mrs. Tentacles]]. According to the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014]]'' book published by the {{W|Egmont Group}}, Squidward's birthday is on {{Time|October 9}}.

His father raised him right and loved him very much, as Squidward mentions in "[[Krab Borg]]."

Later, Squidward was enrolled in the [[Bikini Bottom School]].{{e|Lost and Found}}

During his childhood, he always had to sit near the garbage cans at lunch, as he wasn't known as a friend by many people.{{e|Boating Buddies}} As a teenager, he was rivals with his band classmate [[Squilliam Fancyson]].

As a child, he went to [[Camp Coral]] where he met a sponge named [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob SquarePants]], a sea star named [[Patrick Star]] and a Texas squirrel wearing an aquatic suit named [[Sandy Cheeks]]. A year later he became the troop leader of the Camp becoming a figure of authority towards his friends and during that time he met a money obsessed and former Navy member young crab named [[Eugene H. Krabs]], that would become his boss in future.

[[File:The Original Fry Cook 169.png|thumb|260px|left|Young Squidward with hair near Jim.]]
One day, he became part of the Krusty Krab along with [[Jim]].{{e|The Original Fry Cook}} On the day Jim quit, Squidward spoke with him and instantly lost his long blond hair, much to his dismay. Later, at an unknown point of his life, he would become the neighbor of his former Camp mates SpongeBob and Patrick.{{Link}}.{{e|Truth or Square}}

At one point, he tried to move out of his house out of intolerance for his neighbors, but the [[Patty Rechid|real estate agent]] refused to sell his home on account of SpongeBob and Patrick stealing his identity and deceiving her.{{e|Opposite Day}}

At one point, he moved out of [[Bikini Bottom]] and into [[Tentacle Acres]], a town filled with his peers, other octopuses who share his tastes and outlook on life. Here, he was forced to face how boring and oppressive his desired lifestyle is, and he was able to ultimately break free of its bonds with a few inspired silliness.{{e|Squidville}}

In "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]," it is implied that Squidward at one point had a significant other when he remembered the good times he had at [[Make-Out Reef]].

In "[[Love That Squid]]," it is revealed that he has not dated for a long time before [[Squilvia]] came into his life.

At one point, he, along with SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Sandy went on land to retrieve the [[Krabby Patty secret formula]] from [[Burger Beard]].

In "[[Lame and Fortune]]," he won the most miserable cashier in the Bikini Bottom contest. Unfortunately, Mr. Krabs immediately purloins the cash prize.

On {{Time|March 6}}, {{Time|2017}}, Squidward traveled 2,000 years into the future as a result of being thawed in the Krusty Krab freezer for 2,000 years.{{e|SB-129}}&lt;ref&gt;On a calendar seen in the background of the chrome future, the date is stated to be March 6, 4017.&lt;/ref&gt;

==Description==
[[File:Squidward-Sour-Note-octopus-concept-art.jpg|thumb|260px|Concept art for Squidward as Sour Note, depicting him as a realistic giant Pacific octopus.]]
Squidward is a PMS 333 colored octopus with purple suction cups at the end of his tentacles. Squidward has six limbs in total, two being arms, and four being legs, which tend to make the shape of a plus sign when he stands in place. Whenever he walks, his suction cups stick to the floor, meaning that he walks with a distinct squelching noise. Squidward has a large cranium with eight spots on the top of it. He also has a nasal voice, a skinny body, a big droopy nose, a wide mouth, and yellow eyes with rectangular maroon irises. When he laughs, his nose appears to deflate and inflate repeatedly (in earlier episodes, this was accompanied with a sound effect.) He wears a brown polo t-shirt.

Squidward is usually bald, but his natural hair color is blond. In the episode "[[The Original Fry Cook]]," it is shown that Squidward had long blond hair when he was young, but he lost it all after Jim left the Krusty Krab. His blond hair is also seen in the ending of "[[Squidward's Sick Daze]]."

[[File:Squidward-in-Underwater-Friends.png|left|thumb|260px|Squidward with his real-life octopus counterpart, as seen in the book ''[[Underwater Friends]]''.]]
His color has changed slightly throughout the series. While he is shown to be PMS 332 in earlier episodes (most noticeable in "[[Help Wanted]]"), he changes to PMS 333 in later episodes.

In the episode "[[Sandy's Rocket]]," Squidward is shown to be wearing an old version of his nightwear. It is pink with magenta-colored flowers on it. In newer episodes such as "[[Sentimental Sponge]]," Squidward is seen wearing his real nightgown. In this episode, he refers to it as a "nightshirt." It is a light purple nightgown that comes with a matching nightcap. It is the third version of his nightwear. The second version appears in "[[Employee of the Month]]" and "[[Funny Pants]]."

It is shown in the episode "[[Bulletin Board]]" that Squidward has a tattoo of a red rose on his right arm.

In the episode "[[Jolly Lodgers]]" Squidward wore a pink Hawaiian shirt before staying in Hotel Halibut to get some peace and quiet. He later wears orange and red trunks, while he goes swimming, and when he enters the Jellyfishing Convention.

In various spin-off media, he's slightly redesigned. In ''[[Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years]]'', he looks mostly the same as the original, but wears a red cap and a red handkerchief. In ''[[The Patrick Star Show]]'', he has three pimples on his nose, and his shirt's collar and sleeves are yellow.

==Personality==
Squidward is considered rude, stubborn, snobby, grumpy, bad-tempered, egotistical, miserable, sarcastic, apathetic, pessimistic, hypocritical, and sometimes sadistic, but this can be explained by his work ethic. He views the world in such a negative light that he is rarely seen greeting anyone with a smile. He hates his job at the [[Krusty Krab]] and is often seen sleeping or reading on the job instead of working.
Despite his temper, he is still one of the most intelligent and educated characters. He has a cynical attitude, a grandiose sense of self, and sees others as uncivilized morons while failing to accept his shortcomings. Squidward sees himself as misunderstood and unappreciated, blaming society for his failures.

He is annoyingly pretentious in his pursuit of fame and is either unwilling or unable to spot talent and creativity, even belittling it. He lauds "cultivated taste" and accepted standards. In the episode "[[Artist Unknown]]," he insists that his pupil [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob]] "show his method," even when it is painfully clear that SpongeBob has artistic genius. Furthermore, Squidward takes credit for creating the ''David'' statue when SpongeBob is the actual creator. His motive was to impress the art appraiser. In the episode "[[Bubblestand]]," he belittles SpongeBob's [[bubble blowing]].

Squidward is also jealous of those who are more artistic or talented than he is, for example, [[Incidental 41]], [[Patrick Star]], [[Eugene H. Krabs|Mr. Krabs]], [[Squilliam Fancyson]], and even the puppet [[Mini Squidward]]. In "[[Slimy Dancing]]," Squidward cheats during the dance show by hiding in SpongeBob's body and using the latter's physical identity and talents to win the trophy. He attempts to steal the dance trophy after being criticized by the judges, only to be thrown out by the security. In "[[Professor Squidward]]," Squidward impersonates Squilliam Fancyson while exercising his power as a music teacher, preceding his arrest by the police. In "[[Sold!]]," after knowing that SpongeBob and Patrick think [[Nick Fishkins]] has bought their homes. Squidward lies that a 14-member family has moved into SpongeBob's pineapple and an 8-member rock band with several instruments has moved into Patrick's rock. When SpongeBob and Patrick come to their old houses, he puts on outfits to match the characters that he made up.

Squidward is generally portrayed as an overall failure. His musical skills with the clarinet are generally portrayed as sub-par, from mediocre to excruciatingly horrible. In "[[Sweet and Sour Squid]]," Squidward's disastrous clarinet playing creates a mass noise disturbance throughout the town, prompting the authorities' arrival. However, there have been numerous exceptions - such as in "[[Bubblestand]]" and "[[Hello Bikini Bottom!]]" - where he plays nicely. At the end of "[[Christmas Who?]]," he manages to play great with the wooden clarinet SpongeBob carved for him. In "[[That's No Lady]]," he manages to play a nice tune to woo "Patricia." Also, in "[[Best Day Ever]]," he even has a concert where he plays beautifully and receives thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was even on the VIP list for it. It seems that he is capable of playing the clarinet very well by providing a full effort. He plays well enough in "[[Hello Bikini Bottom!]]" for a musical manager to offer him and SpongeBob a job. He also - if the player plays well - plays well in the Rock Bottom mini-game in ''[[Lights, Camera, Pants!]]'', along with Beats Me. He is also first-chair in the Bikini Bottom Orchestra.&lt;ref&gt;"[[Goodbye, Krabby Patty?]]"&lt;/ref&gt;

He often lets this success go to his head. In "[[Skill Crane]]," Squidward's final success in winning from the toy claw machine goes to his head and influences him to use a construction crane; his out-of-control usage of said crane leads to the demolition of the future site of a mall, and eventually the Krusty Krab. In "[[Snowball Effect]]" after pelting SpongeBob and Patrick with snowballs, he takes the snowball fight too far and builds a massive Fort and throws a bunch of snowballs, believing he was dominating the snowball fight.

His overall artistic style is shown to be abstract and overly sophisticated, and his works are commonly panned by his audiences. His failure is shown to be due to his bad taste and arrogance, rather than a genuine lack of talent. The entirety of his art centers on himself, apparently holding his very being to be an artistic wonder and never even considers depicting anything else. In the episode "[[One Krabs Trash]]," Squidward is shown bringing flowers to a gravestone reading "Here Lies Squidward's Hopes and Dreams."

Because of this, he is portrayed to be the failure of an artist. In "[[Out of the Picture]]" an art dealer mentions that none of Squidward's artwork will ever have any monetary value unless he was "Out of the picture." In "[[The Googly Artiste]]" When Squidward showed an art dealer one of his artistic creations, the art dealer was repulsed by it. In "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]" When Squidward went homeless after quitting his job, he mentions that no one would take his paintings so he had to eat them. However in "[[Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost]]" he has shown to make good art in some artistic mediums, including wax-sculpting, pottery, and even paintings, but gets no recognition for them. Despite his lack of success, Squidward is tireless in his pursuit of artistic achievement. Squidward does have artistic talent, but he’s just too lazy and arrogant to practice.

In "[[Dunces and Dragons]]," [[Squidly Tentacles|Squidly]], Squidward's medieval ancestor, vowed that if he could not learn to play the clarinet correctly, his seventh great-grandson would be cursed tenfold. In "[[Squilliam Returns]]," Squilliam mentions that Squidward was voted "Most Likely to Suck Eggs" in high school.

Given how Squidward is depicted as a loser in most regards, it is likely that his narcissism is a defense mechanism to make him feel as if he has some form of self-worth. Outwardly, he shows signs of modest success: he lives in a big, well-tended house, with no signs of slothfulness, and finds plenty of time to lead an active, involved life.

Squidward is well-educated and knows his history. He is intelligent and has a lot of worldly knowledge, especially compared to those of SpongeBob and Patrick. Squidward is also a skilled driver, as he manages to drive virtually everything, from a traditional bike, a boat, car, and even a tractor.

[[File:Krusty Krab Training Video 120.png|thumb|260px|Squidward sleeping at work.]] 
When he is at the Krusty Krab, he is a lazy, sloppy, somewhat incompetent employee who has an intense dislike of the restaurant and its management, which is best exemplified in the episode "[[Krusty Krab Training Video]]." He is considered "inattentive, impatient," with "a glazed look in the eye." In episodes where Squidward is put behind the grill whenever SpongeBob is missing, he has shown himself to be an incompetent fry cook, often burning the food instead of cooking it, which affects the health of its consumers. This is shown in "[[Pickles]]," "[[Hooky]]," and "[[SpongeBob LongPants]]." In "[[Chum Fricassee]]," it is revealed by [[Grandma Tentacles]] that Squidward took shortcuts and undercooked her fricassee, thus poisoning the customers, since he all he cared about was the fame, rather than actual results of the cooking. In "[[Accidents Will Happen]]," he fakes his injury and lies to Mr. Krabs for the sole purpose of seeking sympathy and having an excuse to not work. He does this again in "[[Squiditis]]," where he lies to Mr. Krabs about having the eponymous disease to have a day off. In the episode "[[Squid on Strike]]," he organizes a worker's strike at the Krusty Krab. He even destroys the Krusty Krab, although indirectly and accidentally.

However, despite his hatred for his job and the constant abuse and misfortune from having it, he very rarely ever quits and never considers looking for better employment. He puts up with it out of pure laziness and stubborn pride out of the fact that he expects to let benefits come to him rather than trying, such as in "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]" and "[[New Leaf]]" when Mr. Krabs threatens to fire him and Squidward lets this threaten him to go along with what he's getting dragged into against his will.

It is revealed in a flashback of "[[The Original Fry Cook]]" that he insists on remaining at the [[Krusty Krab]] until his clarinet career pays off, even though it never does. Other examples include "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]," in which he quits the Krusty Krab and becomes homeless due to not finding a new job. After being taken in by SpongeBob, Squidward becomes a leech and consistently and deliberately ignores SpongeBob's hints for him to at least attempt to look for a new job. In "[[Banned in Bikini Bottom]]," after the Krusty Krab is closed down, rather than trying to search for a new job, he waits around with SpongeBob watching Mr. Krabs wallow in depression. In "[[Goodbye, Krabby Patty]]," after getting officially fired from the Krusty Krab, Squidward takes pettiness to this but sees this as an opportunity to follow his dreams, only to find out that he needs better experience than 17 years as a cashier. Yet rather than trying to search for a better job, he begs for SpongeBob to help him get employed at the [[Krusty Krab Museum]]. The most recent example is "[[The Check-Up]]" when a nurse threatens to have the Krusty Krab permanently closed, Squidward ends up deciding to help SpongeBob rather than ditching to let him do it himself, stating that if the Krusty Krab is closed down, he would "have to get a real job."

As it all turns out, one of the reasons why Squidward is often arrogant and bad-tempered, especially the fact that he's rude and hateful to most people, is having to put up with SpongeBob and Patrick's loud and irritating behaviors, which sometimes leads him to make plans to get him to stop, although sometimes, either as a result of his arrogance or carelessness, his plans backfire on him. This is shown in "[[Jellyfishing]]" where Squidward unleashes a jellyfish in a jar with the intent to make it sting SpongeBob and Patrick, in retaliation for making him get stung by the [[Queen Jellyfish]]. In "[[Fools in April]]," Squidward pulls a very cruel and harmful prank on SpongeBob that physically assaults him while under the manipulation of a rope tied to him. In "[[Suction Cup Symphony]]," Squidward kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of his window so hard to the point of fracturing the latter's buttock bones. In "[[Dying for Pie]]," Squidward buys an explosive pie to give to SpongeBob for [[Employee Brotherhood Day]], oblivious to the fact that it is infused with a bomb; SpongeBob allegedly consumes it, only to reveal toward the ending that he had it in his pocket the whole time to share with Squidward. Although Squidward tried to make the last hours of SpongeBob's life meaningful and felt guilty for causing his doom, he expresses anger upon discovering that SpongeBob never actually ate the pie. In "[[The Lost Mattress]]," Squidward tries to get SpongeBob and Patrick eaten by the guard worm at the dump by having them trespass the fence while dressed up in steak suits. In "[[The Curse of Bikini Bottom]]," Squidward lends his lawnmower to SpongeBob and Patrick out of hope that they injure themselves with it. In "[[Sportz?]]," he creates a malicious sports game for them to play in an attempt to harm them. In "[[Scavenger Pants]]," Squidward makes up a really difficult scavenger hunt in hopes of getting SpongeBob and Patrick harmed.

Despite his grumpy nature, Squidward does have a caring heart deep down, and when he realizes his plans have caused either harm or emotional pain to those he ridiculed, he is quick to realize the error of his ways and make up for it while he can. Occasionally, such as in "[[Krab Borg]]," Squidward is seen teaming up with SpongeBob, or even caring about him.

===Artistic side===
====Leisure====
[[File:Squidward with clarinet stock art.png|left|thumb|260px|Squidward playing his clarinet.]]An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection for interpretive dance, sculpting, painting, and playing the clarinet. However, he seems to have almost no talent for any of them whatsoever, although he does play the clarinet beautifully at the end of the "[[Christmas Who?]]," at the end of "[[Bubblestand]]," and in "[[The Two Faces of Squidward]]." He has often tried to impress the public with his artistic exhibitions but is always either unrecognized, mocked by his audience, or upstaged by SpongeBob. Squidward always wants to be the center of attention but rarely ever is. In "[[Best Day Ever]]," he had a concert where he played beautifully and received thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was on the VIP list for it, which is ironic, considering Squidward's intense hatred for him. Squidward also misses many chances to become famous, even in his dreams.

His lack of talent seems to go back to when he was a kid: in "[[Lost and Found]]," it is revealed in a flashback that Squidward was a kazoo player in [[Bikini Bottom School|elementary school]] and that his classmates found his music so bad that they all ran out of school, despite Squidward thinking he excelled in playing the instrument.

All of his artwork, from sculptures to paintings, depicts himself in a way, even repainting existing works to include his face. He surrounds himself with said art throughout his house, a clear indication of his narcissist tendencies. These arts have occasionally been admired greatly by Patrick and SpongeBob, but are universally hated by the rest of Bikini Bottom.

He has tried several things to reach the fame he desires: hosting a talent show, starting his astrology spin-off, forming a band, and so on, yet he cannot seem to get much of a following.

==Occupation==
Squidward works as the cashier at the Krusty Krab, along with his co-worker, {{Link|SpongeBob SquarePants}}. He not only hates his duties but the Krusty Krab itself, and he performs his job rather poorly and with a lack of enthusiasm. He also frequently behaves rudely to the customers. He has often expressed a desire to be fired or simply quit, but never makes good on it. While he initially only seems to work there because he needs the money, he seems to only be there out of pure laziness of getting a different job as the series progresses.

In ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'', Squidward is the manager of the [[Krusty Krab 2]] for six days, although due to Plankton's invasion of Bikini Bottom, the new restaurant is not in service during this time. It is also shown here that Squidward cares about what happens to the Krusty Krab and the Krabby Patty formula when he discovers Plankton selling Krabby Patties and threatens to report him to [[King Neptune]]. In "[[Selling Out]]," Squidward works as the waiter for [[Krabby O'Monday's]]. He was forced to maintain a false state of happiness, or else face "Human Resources," a thug in the back of the building.

In [[The Patrick Star Show]], he is a paperboy who's trying to collect overdue payment from the Star family.

==Creation and development==
[[Stephen Hillenburg]] first became fascinated with the ocean and began developing his artistic abilities as a child. During college, he majored in marine biology and minored in art. After graduating in 1984, he joined the {{W|Ocean Institute}}, an ocean education organization, where he had the idea to create a comic book titled ''The Intertidal Zone'', which led to the creation of ''SpongeBob SquarePants''.&lt;ref name="Ocean Institute"&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ocean-institute.org/|title=Welcome to the Ocean Institute|work=ocean-institute.org|accessdate=December 24, 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name="HillenburgInt"&gt;{{cite video |people=[[Thomas F.

Several years after studying experimental animation at the {{W|California Institute of the Arts}},&lt;ref name="Banks, p. 9" /&gt; Hillenburg met {{W|Joe Murray (animator)|Joe Murray}}, creator of ''{{W|Rocko's Modern Life}}'', at an animation festival. Murray offered Hillenburg a job as a director of the series.&lt;ref name="Hillenburg" /&gt;&lt;ref name="Murray"&gt;{{cite video | people=Murray, Joe|date=2003|title=The Origin of SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete First Season| medium=DVD|publisher=Paramount Home Entertainment}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.title14.com/rocko/contributors/murray.html Lisa (Kiczuk) Trainor interviews Joe Murray, creator of Rocko's Modern Life]," ''The Rocko's Modern Life FAQ''&lt;/ref&gt; [[Martin Olson]], one of the writers for ''Rocko's Modern Life'', read ''The Intertidal Zone'' and encouraged Hillenburg to create a television series with a similar concept. At that point, Hillenburg had not considered creating his own series, but soon realized that this was his chance.&lt;ref name="HillenburgInt" /&gt;&lt;ref name="HillenburgInt" /&gt;

Hillenburg used some character designs from his comic book. He designed "SpongeBob's grumpy next-door neighbor" like an octopus because of the species' large head; octopuses, he said, "have such a large bulbous head and Squidward thinks he's an intellectual so of course, he's gonna have a large bulbous head."&lt;ref name="Case"&gt;Hillenburg, Stephen. (March 1, 2005). ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'' (''[[Case of the Sponge "Bob"]]'') (DVD). Paramount Home Entertainment/Nickelodeon.&lt;/ref&gt; Hillenburg drew Squidward with six tentacles because "it was just simpler for animation to draw him with six legs instead of eight."&lt;ref name="Case" /&gt; Show writer and storyboard artist [[Vincent Waller]] said:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Squidward is hard to draw-he has a very odd-shaped head. Fortunately, his emotions are pretty even, but to get a whole lot of big emoting out of him is a challenge. His nose splits everything in half, so it's always like, 'OK, how am I going to work this and still make it read?'&lt;ref name="WallerHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Waller, Vincent | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hillenburg thought of making jokes with Squidward ejecting ink but retired it because, according to him, "it always looks like he's pooping his pants."&lt;ref name="Case" /&gt; However, it occurs in ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water]]'' and the episodes "[[Giant Squidward]]" and "[[Ink Lemonade]]."

Stephen Hillenburg named him Squidward because of the name Octoward—in the words of Squidward's voice actor [[Rodger Bumpass]]—"just didn't work."&lt;ref name="AbsorbingTales1"&gt;Bumpass, Rodger. (March 1, 2005). ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'' (''The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'') (DVD). Paramount Home Entertainment/Nickelodeon.&lt;/ref&gt; The sound of Squidward's footsteps is produced by rubbing hot water bottles. The footsteps, and those of the rest of the main characters, are recorded by the show's {{W|Foley (filmmaking)|foley}} crew. Sound designer Jeff Hutchins said that footstep sounds "[help] tell which character it is and what surface they're stepping on."&lt;ref name="HutchinsHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Hutchins, Jeff | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, his footsteps are usually accompanied by a couple of stock sound effects from the Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends library from the sound effects company Sound Ideas, SPURT, CARTOON - OIL SPURT 01 and 02. Bumpass inspired the idea of having Squidward ride a [[Squidward's recumbent bicycle|recumbent bicycle]]; Bumpass owns one of these bicycles, which he rides around Burbank, California.&lt;ref name="KennyHA" /&gt; Bumpass described it as his "little inside joke."&lt;ref name="AbsorbingTales1" /&gt;

===Voice===
[[File:Voices of Pearl Krabs and Squidward Tentacles.jpg|thumb]]
Squidward's voice is provided by actor Rodger Bumpass, who voices several other ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' characters, including Squidward's mother. In "[[Funny Pants]]," [[Tom Kenny]] voices Squidward's laughter at the end of the episode. While creating the show and writing [[Help Wanted|its pilot episode]] in 1997, Hillenburg and the show's then-creative director [[Derek Drymon]] were also conducting voice auditions.&lt;ref name="DrymonHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Drymon, Derek | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | access date = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[Doug Lawrence|Mr. Lawrence]], who had worked with Hillenburg and Drymon on ''Rocko's Modern Life'', was Hillenburg's first choice for the role. Hillenburg had invited Lawrence to audition for all the show's characters.&lt;ref name="MrLawrenceInt"&gt;{{cite video |people=[[Thomas F.

According to Bumpass, Squidward was "a very nasally, monotone kind of guy." He said the character became interesting to perform because of "his sarcasm, and then his frustration, and then his apoplexy, and so he became a wide spectrum of emotions."&lt;ref name="Bumpass"&gt;{{cite web|last=Reardon|first=Samantha|title=Rodger Bumpass is Squidward Tentacles|url=http://georgiastatesignal.com/rodger-bumpass-is-squidward-tentacles/|work=The Signal|accessdate=March 28, 2014|date=September 8, 2013|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328111302/http://georgiastatesignal.com/rodger-bumpass-is-squidward-tentacles/|archivedate=March 28, 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt; Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob, describes Bumpass recording his lines in the studio, saying, "I love watching Rodger&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;He's right next to me." According to Kenny, when Bumpass "goes apoplectic" as Squidward while recording, his head turns red, "and you're afraid he's going to have an embolism."&lt;ref name="KennyHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Kenny, Tom | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Several of the show's crew praise Bumpass for his performance and similitude to the character. Kenny called Bumpass "brilliant" and said, "[he] is sort of like Squidward."&lt;ref name="KennyHA" /&gt; Staff writer [[Kent Osborne]] said, "I remember thinking about how much Rodger talks and acts like Squidward. That's why it's such a good voice—he's so connected to it."&lt;ref name="OsborneHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Osborne, Kent | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, Bumpass said, "I'm not him and he's not me, but what I'm required to do for him and what I am enabled to do for him is what makes it like me. It fits my particular talents and skills very well. So in that respect, yeah, he is me, but I am not the cranky, sarcastic, underachieving kind of guy that he is. He's easy to fall in, I will say that."&lt;ref name="Bumpass" /&gt;

Squidward's voice has been compared to that of {{W|Jack Benny}}'s. Kenny said, "To me, there's something just so funny about that Jack-Benny-loyal-to-nobody character that Rodger Bumpass does such a great job of playing [...] Squidward."&lt;ref name="AbsorbingTales2"&gt;Kenny, Tom. (March 1, 2005). ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'' (''The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'') (DVD). Paramount Home Entertainment/Nickelodeon.&lt;/ref&gt; Arthur Brown, author of ''Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Cartoons!'', said that Squidward "sounds a lot like Jack Benny."&lt;ref name="learned"&gt;{{cite book|last=Brown|first=Arthur|title=Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Cartoons!|publisher=Arthur Brown|year=2008|page=85|isbn=978-1-4357-3248-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X-oi8LiETHIC&amp;pg=PA85&amp;dq=SpongeBob&amp;lr=&amp;as_brr=3}}&lt;/ref&gt; Bumpass repudiated the relationship, saying "Jack Benny, no. Although he does have this observational sarcasm he occasionally brought out."&lt;ref name="Bumpass" /&gt;

==Relationships==
===SpongeBob SquarePants===
[[File:Naughty Nautical Neighbors 197.jpg|left|thumb|260px|Squidward angrily kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of his destroyed house.]]
SpongeBob is the character Squidward interacts with the most and is also the one he dislikes more than the rest, often trying to avoid him at all costs.

The main reason for Squidward's massive dislike for SpongeBob's existence is because SpongeBob can be extremely annoying towards Squidward, but SpongeBob is unaware of this, and thus continues to irritate him. It was revealed in "[[Truth or Square]]," that SpongeBob's pineapple house landed on Squidward's old garden and when SpongeBob moved in, Squidward started to resent him even though SpongeBob didn't do anything to make Squidward hate him. Squidward and SpongeBob are opposites, which seems to be the reason why Squidward dislikes him at times when SpongeBob has not done anything bad to him.

Their relationship is somewhat complicated. While SpongeBob sees Squidward as one of his best friends, this is mostly one-sided, although Squidward occasionally shows sympathy towards him; this is seen in episodes such as "[[Pizza Delivery]]," "[[Dying For Pie]]," and "[[Christmas Who?]]" Squidward also admired SpongeBob's selfless bravery against the [[Flying Dutchman]] in "[[Born Again Krabs]]." Squidward has also teamed up with SpongeBob and helped him on a few occasions, such as in "[[Krab Borg]]" and "[[Squid on Strike]]." Later, in "[[SpongeBob You're Fired]]," Squidward fought off four crazed restaurant owners to rescue SpongeBob and later admitted that as much he hates him, he hates the smell of burnt Krabby Patties more before giving him a heartfelt plea to return to the being the fry cook at the Krusty Krab. In the episode "[[SB-129]]," Squidward says that he misses everything, including SpongeBob. He also admitted that he likes SpongeBob in "[[Graveyard Shift]]" and "[[Fools in April]]." Sometimes, he needs SpongeBob's help, as shown in "[[Skill Crane]]" and "[[Sponge-Cano!]]" where he desperately told SpongeBob how grateful he was so SpongeBob could save him from falling in the volcano. He's also gotten along really nicely and played with SpongeBob in episodes such as "[[Breath of Fresh Squidward]]" and "[[Slide Whistle Stooges]]."

===Mr. Krabs===
[[File:Born Again Krabs 180.png|thumb|260px|Squidward is angry at Mr. Krabs.]]
Squidward despises Mr. Krabs and has little tolerance for him. Unlike SpongeBob, Squidward is much more aware of Mr. Krabs' greedy and cheap nature. Mr. Krabs also thinks very lowly of Squidward and gets tired of his lazy tendencies and often blames him for mishaps, though he does see him as a valued employee on occasion. There have been times where Squidward angrily scolded Mr. Krabs. In "[[Born Again Krabs]]," he furiously chastises Mr. Krabs for selling SpongeBob's soul for pocket change. In "[[Clams]]" he gets mad at Krabs for taking them on a fishing trip and berates him for making them stay on the boat all over a dollar. He also gets outraged when Mr. Krabs blames something on him, like when Squidward got mad and furiously quit his job because Mr. Krabs angrily accused him of stealing his first dime in "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]." However, the two do sometimes get along and Squidward has been working at the Krusty Krab for a long time and does sometimes respect and listen to Mr. Krabs' authority, so the two have developed a somewhat decent relationship. However, their relationship has taken a turn for the worst as the series progressed, with Mr. Krabs becoming more greedy and immoral, and Squidward becoming angrier and grumpier.

===Patrick Star===
Throughout the series, Squidward is shown to have a considerable dislike towards Patrick. As with Mr. Krabs, this hatred overall seems to have taken a turn for the worse in later seasons. In "[[Restraining SpongeBob]]," Squidward is very annoyed with Patrick when he would stalk him, ask stupid questions, and use his clarinet to clean the bathroom.

Their relationship, in general, is awkward; unlike SpongeBob, Patrick notices Squidward's malice more often and tends to contradict him more. Squidward in return is also more rude and disrespectful to Patrick than to SpongeBob. The two have even fought each other in some episodes due to their differences. However, Squidward sometimes hints he can tolerate Patrick more than SpongeBob.

While Squidward holds a massive hatred towards Patrick, he didn't seem to mind him before SpongeBob's arrival to their neighborhood. As shown in the TV special "[[Truth or Square]]," Squidward lived a happy life in Bikini Bottom, and even enjoyed his job at the Krusty Krab, only turning bitter and frustrated after SpongeBob moved. Additionally, in "[[No Hat for Pat]]," he wishes Patrick was SpongeBob before he tries to push him off the platform into an urchin bucket, hinting that even though he dislikes Patrick a lot, he dislikes SpongeBob far more.

In "[[Naughty Nautical Neighbors]]," he befriends him, because he saved his life, but quickly ditches him later. He also stops Mr. Krabs from conning him in "[[Patrick's Coupon]]."

===Plankton===
Squidward and Plankton barely interact since Squidward doesn't usually care about the secret formula. When they do interact they usually dislike each other. However, in the episodes "[[Sweet and Sour Squid]]" and "[[Chum Fricassee]]," they team up, although they remain enemies in the end.

===Gary the Snail===
Gary and Squidward have a complicated relationship. Gary annoys Squidward while Gary thinks Squidward is a jerk. However, Squidward does seem to have feelings for Gary as seen in "[[I Was a Teenage Gary]]." And they seem to sometimes share the same opinion about SpongeBob's annoying antics as Squidward once replied "Oh, tell me about it!" in "[[Giant Squidward]]." In "[[Are You Happy Now?]]," Gary seemed to be concerned for Squidward like SpongeBob was. In "[[That Sinking Feeling]]," Squidward was searching SpongeBob in his house and when he spotted Gary on the roof, he said "Hey, Gary." to him.

===Sandy Cheeks===
Squidward and Sandy usually do not talk to each other, but in "[[SquidBob TentaclePants]]," she transformed Squidward and SpongeBob after being stuck together, and Squidward begs Sandy to separate them. Sandy is one of the few characters Squidward seems to have no problems with, although Sandy does seem to sometimes to find Squidward intolerable, such as his recent assault on a creepy crawler with karate for revenge instead of self-defense in "[[Squid Defense]]." She can also get a little rough because in "[[Patrick! The Game]]" when he was about to quit Sandy angrily scolded him to get back in. She even drew the line before with Squidward and some of his antics, such as when she beat up Squidward in "[[Sportz?]]" for making SpongeBob and Patrick injure themselves by playing dangerous sports and wouldn't let them stop.

===[[Squilvia]]===
[[File:Love That Squid 034.jpg|left|thumb|260px|Squidward meets Squilvia.]]
Squilvia is Squidward's girlfriend in "[[Love That Squid]]." In the episode, Squilvia visits the Krusty Krab and Squidward falls in love with her and gets nervous around her, so SpongeBob has to act as his wingman. SpongeBob tells Squilvia that Squidward likes her and manages to get Squidward a date with her. However, Squidward is unprepared to go on a date because he has not gone on one in years. Therefore, SpongeBob teaches Squidward how to act on a date by pretending to be his girlfriend and going on a simulated date.

After Squidward cannot take it anymore, he yells at SpongeBob. However, he does not realize that Squilvia has arrived for their date. Squidward then thinks that she would not go out with him because he yelled at SpongeBob. However, she likes that he stood up for himself. They then go on their date.

Since she's confirmed a minor character, their relationship is considered over.&lt;ref&gt;https://twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/675706024859340800&lt;/ref&gt;

===Family===
{{Main|Tentacles family}}

===Rivalry===
Squidward's arch-rival is [[Squilliam Fancyson]], whom he first met in high school in band class, who, like all other octopuses on the show, looks and acts similar to Squidward, but wears a robe and has a unibrow. However, unlike Squidward, Squilliam is extremely successful in everything that Squidward has failed in, and is living Squidward's dream of being a wealthy celebrity artist with crowds of adoring fans, usually with many admirers following his presence. In Squilliam's debut episode, "[[Band Geeks]]," he calls Squidward, at his home, to once again, rub his success in his face, saying that his band is signed to play at the Bubble Bowl but cannot come, and sarcastically asks Squidward for his "band" to cover for them. Squidward, caught in the moment, claims that he does have a band and will play at the Bubble Bowl, forcing him to put together a band from the residents of Bikini Bottom. Thanks to SpongeBob, their performance turns out to be much better than Squilliam could have ever expected, causing him to have a heart attack.

Squilliam returns in the aptly named episode "Squilliam Returns," in which Squidward meets him and a crowd of his fans. Squilliam tries to embarrass Squidward by showing the crowd his lowly position as a cashier, but Squidward claims to own a five-star restaurant, and Squilliam agrees to take the group to dinner there, expecting this claim to be exposed as a lie. Squidward's attempts at converting the Krusty Krab into a five-star restaurant are initially unsuccessful until he gets SpongeBob to clear his mind of everything "except fine dining and breathing." SpongeBob can turn the Krusty Krab into an extremely extravagant and fancy diner. Everything goes well until Squilliam, who is admittedly impressed, asks his waiter, SpongeBob, his name. SpongeBob, having erased '''everything''' else from his mind, forgets his name and subsequently everything else, going insane and destroying the "fancy restaurant" environment, with the help of Mr. Krabs' disgusting "appetizer" coming to life.

Squilliam appears again in "[[House Fancy]]" where Squilliam calls Squidward to boast about how his enormous house was chosen as the fanciest house on the show ''House Fancy''. Squidward then calls the show's host and claims his house is better. Then with the help of SpongeBob, he attempts to make it look better but ultimately ends up destroying his house. The show's host thinks this is a revolutionary house design, and for the second time, Squidward can beat Squilliam.

==Love interests==
*In "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]," Squidward says "Ah, make out reef... good times, good times...," meaning he had been there when he was younger with a love interest.
*In "[[That's No Lady]]," Squidward and Mr. Krabs fall for Patrick, who was posing as a woman named Patricia because Patrick thought someone was trying to force him to leave Bikini Bottom.
*In "[[Love That Squid]]," Squidward makes a date with another octopus named "Squilvia."

==Residence==
[[File:Squidward's_House.jpg|thumb|260px|Squidward's house.]]
{{Main|Squidward Tentacles' house}}
Squidward lives in a house resembling an Easter Island moai. It is placed in between {{Link|SpongeBob}} and {{Link|Patrick}}'s houses at [[Squidward Tentacles' House]], and the address was revealed in "[[Slide Whistle Stooges]]." It has been personified several times, such as in the episode "[[The Secret Box]]," where it seems to be peeking at SpongeBob and Patrick's talk. Despite Squidward's wish for peace and quiet, his two neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, make it nearly impossible, due to their high level of childish immaturity and silliness. If Squidward had the choice, he would move. He does so in "Squidville," but ultimately decides that he had moved somewhere even worse. In "[[Opposite Day]]," Squidward tried to move, but SpongeBob and Patrick caused the real estate agent who was originally trying to sell Squidward's house to leave angrily, so Squidward had to stay. He also moved out in "[[Stanley S. SquarePants]]," because he had realized that there were "two of them" and he became horrified.

Squidward usually lives alone, but in "[[The Great Snail Race]]," he adopts a pet snail named [[Snellie the Snail|Snellie]]. In "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]," Squidward winds up homeless after quitting his job until SpongeBob finds him living in a cardboard box and takes him into his house. Squidward almost becomes homeless again in "[[Giant Squidward]]," when he turns into a giant. In the episode "[[Good Neighbors]]," Squidward's house becomes a living robot (due to a security system) and terrorizes [[Bikini Bottom]].

==Trivia==

*In "[[Help Wanted]]," Squidward's skin color is PMS 332, but he became PMS 333 for every episode after.
*"[[The Paper]]" is the first episode where Squidward is seen shirtless.
*SpongeBob is seen imitating Squidward in "[[Opposite Day]]," "[[I Had an Accident]]," "[[Gone]]," "[[Mimic Madness]]," "[[CopyBob DittoPants]],"[[The Getaway]]," and "[[SpongeBob's Bad Habit]]."
*He is acrophobic/afraid of heights in "[[Are You Happy Now?]]," but in "[[No Hat for Pat]]," he is not when he is on the diving board with Patrick.
*Squidward sometimes uses a recumbent cycle for transport, such as in "[[Choir Boys]]." This alludes to his voice actor, [[Rodger Bumpass]], who also owns a recumbent cycle.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|url=https://katv.com/amp/news/local/qa-w-squidward-07-12-2019|title=Little Rock native who voices Squidward talks 20 years of 'SpongeBob Squarepants'|date=July 12, 2019|accessdate=May 24, 2020}}&lt;/ref&gt;
*Squidward is claustrophobic, as revealed in the episode "[[Wishing You Well]]."
*In the episode "[[Reef Blower]]," when SpongeBob sucks the water out of the ocean he is shown to be a shade of purple, but in other out of water appearances, such as ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water]]'', he is his normal shade of PMS 333.
*In early concept art for ''{{Link|The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water}}'', Squidward's superhero form (Sour Note) depicted him as a realistic giant Pacific octopus. In the final version of the film, this gag was given to Sandy instead, and she becomes an overly realistic squirrel.
*During October {{Time|2007}}, where Nickelodeon characters were shown dressed up as various monsters during commercial breaks, Squidward was dressed as what appears to be the {{W|Phantom of the Opera}}.
** Squidward can also be seen dressed in a Santa costume during a "Happy Ha-Ha Holidays" commercial, due to his portrayal of [[Santa Claus]] in "[[Christmas Who?]]" to avoid hurting SpongeBob's feelings.
* In "[[Feral Friends]]," it is revealed that Squidward is allergic to nuts.
**Is also revealed that squidward is allergic to Seaberry Pie ("[[Restraining SpongeBob]]") and Snails ("[[Sanctuary!]]").

*Squidward is right-handed. This can be seen in several episodes, including "[[Artist Unknown]]" during the scene in which he tries to draw a circle.
*Squidward has a distinct laugh, which always makes his nose inflate and deflate, much likely being a reference to the octopus' contractile mantle.
*Squidward's height relative to Mr. Krabs changes depending on the episode. He occasionally appears to be much taller, but they are the same height counting Krabs' eyestalks in some other scenes.
*At the Krusty Krab, Squidward sometimes has different jobs from his regular cashier job, usually replacing SpongeBob as fry cook when he is absent.

'''Squidward'''{{e|Help Wanted}} '''J.'''&lt;ref&gt;[[Karate Choppers (audio commentary)|Audio Commentary for "Karate Choppers"]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]''&lt;/ref&gt; '''Q.'''{{e|Professor Squidward}} '''Tentacles'''{{e|Opposite Day}} (born {{Time|October 9}}&lt;ref&gt;''[[SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014]]''&lt;/ref&gt;) is one of the ten main characters of the {{SBSP}} franchise.&lt;ref&gt;[https://issuu.com/dhosford/docs/sb_character_guide/16 ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' Character Guide]&lt;/ref&gt; He is {{Link|SpongeBob}}'s and {{Link|Patrick}}'s grumpy neighbor and coworker who lives in [[Squidward Tentacles' house|an Easter Island head]]. He is an arrogant artist and musician, and his favorite hobbies are painting self-portraits and playing the [[Squidward's clarinet|clarinet]].

Even though Squidward's name contains the word "squid," he is an octopus, not a squid, as confirmed in many interviews and episodes.&lt;ref&gt;[[Sleepy Time (audio commentary)|Audio Commentary for "Sleepy Time"]]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'' - Rodger Bumpass: ''"He's an octopus, but they call him 'Squidward' I have never understood-- I guess Octoword just didn't work for a name."''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;''[[Case of the Sponge "Bob"]]'' - Hillenburg: ''"This is Squidward the octopus...

I'm an octopus!"''&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;"[[Lame and Fortune]]" - Customer: (looking at Squidward) ''"The octopus with the big nose just spit in your food?!"''&lt;/ref&gt; He has the traits of an octopus—a round bulbous head and rectangular pupils—while a squid has a long triangular head and circular eyes, unlike Squidward. Squids have ''ten'' tentacles, many more than Squidward. The series' animators believed that giving him eight limbs would be too burdensome and difficult to animate, which is why he is usually depicted with six limbs. Notable exceptions are brief scenes in "[[Pressure]]" and "[[Sold!]]," in which he has a full set of eight legs. In "[[Feral Friends]]," his exact species is identified: a {{W|giant Pacific octopus}}.

He is a very cynical, selfish and a stick-in-the-mud individual. He works as the cashier at the [[Krusty Krab]], a job he hates on occasion. Squidward is frequently annoyed by SpongeBob's loud and cheerful behavior, but he sometimes sticks up for SpongeBob and sees him as a friend.

==Biography==
Squidward J. Q. Tentacles was born to [[Jeff Tentacles|Jeff]] and [[Mrs. Tentacles]]. According to the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014]]'' book published by the {{W|Egmont Group}}, Squidward's birthday is on {{Time|October 9}}.

His father raised him right and loved him very much, as Squidward mentions in "[[Krab Borg]]."

Later, Squidward was enrolled in the [[Bikini Bottom School]].{{e|Lost and Found}}

During his childhood, he always had to sit near the garbage cans at lunch, as he wasn't known as a friend by many people.{{e|Boating Buddies}} As a teenager, he was rivals with his band classmate [[Squilliam Fancyson]].

As a child, he went to [[Camp Coral]] where he met a sponge named [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob SquarePants]], a sea star named [[Patrick Star]] and a Texas squirrel wearing an aquatic suit named [[Sandy Cheeks]]. A year later he became the troop leader of the Camp becoming a figure of authority towards his friends and during that time he met a money obsessed and former Navy member young crab named [[Eugene H. Krabs]], that would become his boss in future.

[[File:The Original Fry Cook 169.png|thumb|260px|left|Young Squidward with hair near Jim.]]
One day, he became part of the Krusty Krab along with [[Jim]].{{e|The Original Fry Cook}} On the day Jim quit, Squidward spoke with him and instantly lost his long blond hair, much to his dismay. Later, at an unknown point of his life, he would become the neighbor of his former Camp mates SpongeBob and Patrick.{{Link}}.{{e|Truth or Square}}

At one point, he tried to move out of his house out of intolerance for his neighbors, but the [[Patty Rechid|real estate agent]] refused to sell his home on account of SpongeBob and Patrick stealing his identity and deceiving her.{{e|Opposite Day}}

At one point, he moved out of [[Bikini Bottom]] and into [[Tentacle Acres]], a town filled with his peers, other octopuses who share his tastes and outlook on life. Here, he was forced to face how boring and oppressive his desired lifestyle is, and he was able to ultimately break free of its bonds with a few inspired silliness.{{e|Squidville}}

In "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]," it is implied that Squidward at one point had a significant other when he remembered the good times he had at [[Make-Out Reef]].

In "[[Love That Squid]]," it is revealed that he has not dated for a long time before [[Squilvia]] came into his life.

At one point, he, along with SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Sandy went on land to retrieve the [[Krabby Patty secret formula]] from [[Burger Beard]].

In "[[Lame and Fortune]]," he won the most miserable cashier in the Bikini Bottom contest. Unfortunately, Mr. Krabs immediately purloins the cash prize.

On {{Time|March 6}}, {{Time|2017}}, Squidward traveled 2,000 years into the future as a result of being thawed in the Krusty Krab freezer for 2,000 years.{{e|SB-129}}&lt;ref&gt;On a calendar seen in the background of the chrome future, the date is stated to be March 6, 4017.&lt;/ref&gt;

==Description==
[[File:Squidward-Sour-Note-octopus-concept-art.jpg|thumb|260px|Concept art for Squidward as Sour Note, depicting him as a realistic giant Pacific octopus.]]
Squidward is a PMS 333 colored octopus with purple suction cups at the end of his tentacles. Squidward has six limbs in total, two being arms, and four being legs, which tend to make the shape of a plus sign when he stands in place. Whenever he walks, his suction cups stick to the floor, meaning that he walks with a distinct squelching noise. Squidward has a large cranium with eight spots on the top of it. He also has a nasal voice, a skinny body, a big droopy nose, a wide mouth, and yellow eyes with rectangular maroon irises. When he laughs, his nose appears to deflate and inflate repeatedly (in earlier episodes, this was accompanied with a sound effect.) He wears a brown polo t-shirt.

Squidward is usually bald, but his natural hair color is blond. In the episode "[[The Original Fry Cook]]," it is shown that Squidward had long blond hair when he was young, but he lost it all after Jim left the Krusty Krab. His blond hair is also seen in the ending of "[[Squidward's Sick Daze]]."

[[File:Squidward-in-Underwater-Friends.png|left|thumb|260px|Squidward with his real-life octopus counterpart, as seen in the book ''[[Underwater Friends]]''.]]
His color has changed slightly throughout the series. While he is shown to be PMS 332 in earlier episodes (most noticeable in "[[Help Wanted]]"), he changes to PMS 333 in later episodes.

In the episode "[[Sandy's Rocket]]," Squidward is shown to be wearing an old version of his nightwear. It is pink with magenta-colored flowers on it. In newer episodes such as "[[Sentimental Sponge]]," Squidward is seen wearing his real nightgown. In this episode, he refers to it as a "nightshirt." It is a light purple nightgown that comes with a matching nightcap. It is the third version of his nightwear. The second version appears in "[[Employee of the Month]]" and "[[Funny Pants]]."

It is shown in the episode "[[Bulletin Board]]" that Squidward has a tattoo of a red rose on his right arm.

In the episode "[[Jolly Lodgers]]" Squidward wore a pink Hawaiian shirt before staying in Hotel Halibut to get some peace and quiet. He later wears orange and red trunks, while he goes swimming, and when he enters the Jellyfishing Convention.

In various spin-off media, he's slightly redesigned. In ''[[Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years]]'', he looks mostly the same as the original, but wears a red cap and a red handkerchief. In ''[[The Patrick Star Show]]'', he has three pimples on his nose, and his shirt's collar and sleeves are yellow.

==Personality==
Squidward is considered rude, stubborn, snobby, grumpy, bad-tempered, egotistical, miserable, sarcastic, apathetic, pessimistic, hypocritical, and sometimes sadistic, but this can be explained by his work ethic. He views the world in such a negative light that he is rarely seen greeting anyone with a smile. He hates his job at the [[Krusty Krab]] and is often seen sleeping or reading on the job instead of working.
Despite his temper, he is still one of the most intelligent and educated characters. He has a cynical attitude, a grandiose sense of self, and sees others as uncivilized morons while failing to accept his shortcomings. Squidward sees himself as misunderstood and unappreciated, blaming society for his failures.

He is annoyingly pretentious in his pursuit of fame and is either unwilling or unable to spot talent and creativity, even belittling it. He lauds "cultivated taste" and accepted standards. In the episode "[[Artist Unknown]]," he insists that his pupil [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob]] "show his method," even when it is painfully clear that SpongeBob has artistic genius. Furthermore, Squidward takes credit for creating the ''David'' statue when SpongeBob is the actual creator. His motive was to impress the art appraiser. In the episode "[[Bubblestand]]," he belittles SpongeBob's [[bubble blowing]].

Squidward is also jealous of those who are more artistic or talented than he is, for example, [[Incidental 41]], [[Patrick Star]], [[Eugene H. Krabs|Mr. Krabs]], [[Squilliam Fancyson]], and even the puppet [[Mini Squidward]]. In "[[Slimy Dancing]]," Squidward cheats during the dance show by hiding in SpongeBob's body and using the latter's physical identity and talents to win the trophy. He attempts to steal the dance trophy after being criticized by the judges, only to be thrown out by the security. In "[[Professor Squidward]]," Squidward impersonates Squilliam Fancyson while exercising his power as a music teacher, preceding his arrest by the police. In "[[Sold!]]," after knowing that SpongeBob and Patrick think [[Nick Fishkins]] has bought their homes. Squidward lies that a 14-member family has moved into SpongeBob's pineapple and an 8-member rock band with several instruments has moved into Patrick's rock. When SpongeBob and Patrick come to their old houses, he puts on outfits to match the characters that he made up.

Squidward is generally portrayed as an overall failure. His musical skills with the clarinet are generally portrayed as sub-par, from mediocre to excruciatingly horrible. In "[[Sweet and Sour Squid]]," Squidward's disastrous clarinet playing creates a mass noise disturbance throughout the town, prompting the authorities' arrival. However, there have been numerous exceptions - such as in "[[Bubblestand]]" and "[[Hello Bikini Bottom!]]" - where he plays nicely. At the end of "[[Christmas Who?]]," he manages to play great with the wooden clarinet SpongeBob carved for him. In "[[That's No Lady]]," he manages to play a nice tune to woo "Patricia." Also, in "[[Best Day Ever]]," he even has a concert where he plays beautifully and receives thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was even on the VIP list for it. It seems that he is capable of playing the clarinet very well by providing a full effort. He plays well enough in "[[Hello Bikini Bottom!]]" for a musical manager to offer him and SpongeBob a job. He also - if the player plays well - plays well in the Rock Bottom mini-game in ''[[Lights, Camera, Pants!]]'', along with Beats Me. He is also first-chair in the Bikini Bottom Orchestra.&lt;ref&gt;"[[Goodbye, Krabby Patty?]]"&lt;/ref&gt;

He often lets this success go to his head. In "[[Skill Crane]]," Squidward's final success in winning from the toy claw machine goes to his head and influences him to use a construction crane; his out-of-control usage of said crane leads to the demolition of the future site of a mall, and eventually the Krusty Krab. In "[[Snowball Effect]]" after pelting SpongeBob and Patrick with snowballs, he takes the snowball fight too far and builds a massive Fort and throws a bunch of snowballs, believing he was dominating the snowball fight.

His overall artistic style is shown to be abstract and overly sophisticated, and his works are commonly panned by his audiences. His failure is shown to be due to his bad taste and arrogance, rather than a genuine lack of talent. The entirety of his art centers on himself, apparently holding his very being to be an artistic wonder and never even considers depicting anything else. In the episode "[[One Krabs Trash]]," Squidward is shown bringing flowers to a gravestone reading "Here Lies Squidward's Hopes and Dreams."

Because of this, he is portrayed to be the failure of an artist. In "[[Out of the Picture]]" an art dealer mentions that none of Squidward's artwork will ever have any monetary value unless he was "Out of the picture." In "[[The Googly Artiste]]" When Squidward showed an art dealer one of his artistic creations, the art dealer was repulsed by it. In "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]" When Squidward went homeless after quitting his job, he mentions that no one would take his paintings so he had to eat them. However in "[[Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost]]" he has shown to make good art in some artistic mediums, including wax-sculpting, pottery, and even paintings, but gets no recognition for them. Despite his lack of success, Squidward is tireless in his pursuit of artistic achievement. Squidward does have artistic talent, but he’s just too lazy and arrogant to practice.

In "[[Dunces and Dragons]]," [[Squidly Tentacles|Squidly]], Squidward's medieval ancestor, vowed that if he could not learn to play the clarinet correctly, his seventh great-grandson would be cursed tenfold. In "[[Squilliam Returns]]," Squilliam mentions that Squidward was voted "Most Likely to Suck Eggs" in high school.

Given how Squidward is depicted as a loser in most regards, it is likely that his narcissism is a defense mechanism to make him feel as if he has some form of self-worth. Outwardly, he shows signs of modest success: he lives in a big, well-tended house, with no signs of slothfulness, and finds plenty of time to lead an active, involved life.

Squidward is well-educated and knows his history. He is intelligent and has a lot of worldly knowledge, especially compared to those of SpongeBob and Patrick. Squidward is also a skilled driver, as he manages to drive virtually everything, from a traditional bike, a boat, car, and even a tractor.

[[File:Krusty Krab Training Video 120.png|thumb|260px|Squidward sleeping at work.]] 
When he is at the Krusty Krab, he is a lazy, sloppy, somewhat incompetent employee who has an intense dislike of the restaurant and its management, which is best exemplified in the episode "[[Krusty Krab Training Video]]." He is considered "inattentive, impatient," with "a glazed look in the eye." In episodes where Squidward is put behind the grill whenever SpongeBob is missing, he has shown himself to be an incompetent fry cook, often burning the food instead of cooking it, which affects the health of its consumers. This is shown in "[[Pickles]]," "[[Hooky]]," and "[[SpongeBob LongPants]]." In "[[Chum Fricassee]]," it is revealed by [[Grandma Tentacles]] that Squidward took shortcuts and undercooked her fricassee, thus poisoning the customers, since he all he cared about was the fame, rather than actual results of the cooking. In "[[Accidents Will Happen]]," he fakes his injury and lies to Mr. Krabs for the sole purpose of seeking sympathy and having an excuse to not work. He does this again in "[[Squiditis]]," where he lies to Mr. Krabs about having the eponymous disease to have a day off. In the episode "[[Squid on Strike]]," he organizes a worker's strike at the Krusty Krab. He even destroys the Krusty Krab, although indirectly and accidentally.

However, despite his hatred for his job and the constant abuse and misfortune from having it, he very rarely ever quits and never considers looking for better employment. He puts up with it out of pure laziness and stubborn pride out of the fact that he expects to let benefits come to him rather than trying, such as in "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]" and "[[New Leaf]]" when Mr. Krabs threatens to fire him and Squidward lets this threaten him to go along with what he's getting dragged into against his will.

It is revealed in a flashback of "[[The Original Fry Cook]]" that he insists on remaining at the [[Krusty Krab]] until his clarinet career pays off, even though it never does. Other examples include "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]," in which he quits the Krusty Krab and becomes homeless due to not finding a new job. After being taken in by SpongeBob, Squidward becomes a leech and consistently and deliberately ignores SpongeBob's hints for him to at least attempt to look for a new job. In "[[Banned in Bikini Bottom]]," after the Krusty Krab is closed down, rather than trying to search for a new job, he waits around with SpongeBob watching Mr. Krabs wallow in depression. In "[[Goodbye, Krabby Patty]]," after getting officially fired from the Krusty Krab, Squidward takes pettiness to this but sees this as an opportunity to follow his dreams, only to find out that he needs better experience than 17 years as a cashier. Yet rather than trying to search for a better job, he begs for SpongeBob to help him get employed at the [[Krusty Krab Museum]]. The most recent example is "[[The Check-Up]]" when a nurse threatens to have the Krusty Krab permanently closed, Squidward ends up deciding to help SpongeBob rather than ditching to let him do it himself, stating that if the Krusty Krab is closed down, he would "have to get a real job."

As it all turns out, one of the reasons why Squidward is often arrogant and bad-tempered, especially the fact that he's rude and hateful to most people, is having to put up with SpongeBob and Patrick's loud and irritating behaviors, which sometimes leads him to make plans to get him to stop, although sometimes, either as a result of his arrogance or carelessness, his plans backfire on him. This is shown in "[[Jellyfishing]]" where Squidward unleashes a jellyfish in a jar with the intent to make it sting SpongeBob and Patrick, in retaliation for making him get stung by the [[Queen Jellyfish]]. In "[[Fools in April]]," Squidward pulls a very cruel and harmful prank on SpongeBob that physically assaults him while under the manipulation of a rope tied to him. In "[[Suction Cup Symphony]]," Squidward kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of his window so hard to the point of fracturing the latter's buttock bones. In "[[Dying for Pie]]," Squidward buys an explosive pie to give to SpongeBob for [[Employee Brotherhood Day]], oblivious to the fact that it is infused with a bomb; SpongeBob allegedly consumes it, only to reveal toward the ending that he had it in his pocket the whole time to share with Squidward. Although Squidward tried to make the last hours of SpongeBob's life meaningful and felt guilty for causing his doom, he expresses anger upon discovering that SpongeBob never actually ate the pie. In "[[The Lost Mattress]]," Squidward tries to get SpongeBob and Patrick eaten by the guard worm at the dump by having them trespass the fence while dressed up in steak suits. In "[[The Curse of Bikini Bottom]]," Squidward lends his lawnmower to SpongeBob and Patrick out of hope that they injure themselves with it. In "[[Sportz?]]," he creates a malicious sports game for them to play in an attempt to harm them. In "[[Scavenger Pants]]," Squidward makes up a really difficult scavenger hunt in hopes of getting SpongeBob and Patrick harmed.

Despite his grumpy nature, Squidward does have a caring heart deep down, and when he realizes his plans have caused either harm or emotional pain to those he ridiculed, he is quick to realize the error of his ways and make up for it while he can. Occasionally, such as in "[[Krab Borg]]," Squidward is seen teaming up with SpongeBob, or even caring about him.

===Artistic side===
====Leisure====
[[File:Squidward with clarinet stock art.png|left|thumb|260px|Squidward playing his clarinet.]]An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection for interpretive dance, sculpting, painting, and playing the clarinet. However, he seems to have almost no talent for any of them whatsoever, although he does play the clarinet beautifully at the end of the "[[Christmas Who?]]," at the end of "[[Bubblestand]]," and in "[[The Two Faces of Squidward]]." He has often tried to impress the public with his artistic exhibitions but is always either unrecognized, mocked by his audience, or upstaged by SpongeBob. Squidward always wants to be the center of attention but rarely ever is. In "[[Best Day Ever]]," he had a concert where he played beautifully and received thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was on the VIP list for it, which is ironic, considering Squidward's intense hatred for him. Squidward also misses many chances to become famous, even in his dreams.

His lack of talent seems to go back to when he was a kid: in "[[Lost and Found]]," it is revealed in a flashback that Squidward was a kazoo player in [[Bikini Bottom School|elementary school]] and that his classmates found his music so bad that they all ran out of school, despite Squidward thinking he excelled in playing the instrument.

All of his artwork, from sculptures to paintings, depicts himself in a way, even repainting existing works to include his face. He surrounds himself with said art throughout his house, a clear indication of his narcissist tendencies. These arts have occasionally been admired greatly by Patrick and SpongeBob, but are universally hated by the rest of Bikini Bottom.

He has tried several things to reach the fame he desires: hosting a talent show, starting his astrology spin-off, forming a band, and so on, yet he cannot seem to get much of a following.

==Occupation==
Squidward works as the cashier at the Krusty Krab, along with his co-worker, {{Link|SpongeBob SquarePants}}. He not only hates his duties but the Krusty Krab itself, and he performs his job rather poorly and with a lack of enthusiasm. He also frequently behaves rudely to the customers. He has often expressed a desire to be fired or simply quit, but never makes good on it. While he initially only seems to work there because he needs the money, he seems to only be there out of pure laziness of getting a different job as the series progresses.

In ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'', Squidward is the manager of the [[Krusty Krab 2]] for six days, although due to Plankton's invasion of Bikini Bottom, the new restaurant is not in service during this time. It is also shown here that Squidward cares about what happens to the Krusty Krab and the Krabby Patty formula when he discovers Plankton selling Krabby Patties and threatens to report him to [[King Neptune]]. In "[[Selling Out]]," Squidward works as the waiter for [[Krabby O'Monday's]]. He was forced to maintain a false state of happiness, or else face "Human Resources," a thug in the back of the building.

In [[The Patrick Star Show]], he is a paperboy who's trying to collect overdue payment from the Star family.

==Creation and development==
[[Stephen Hillenburg]] first became fascinated with the ocean and began developing his artistic abilities as a child. During college, he majored in marine biology and minored in art. After graduating in 1984, he joined the {{W|Ocean Institute}}, an ocean education organization, where he had the idea to create a comic book titled ''The Intertidal Zone'', which led to the creation of ''SpongeBob SquarePants''.&lt;ref name="Ocean Institute"&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ocean-institute.org/|title=Welcome to the Ocean Institute|work=ocean-institute.org|accessdate=December 24, 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name="HillenburgInt"&gt;{{cite video |people=[[Thomas F.

Several years after studying experimental animation at the {{W|California Institute of the Arts}},&lt;ref name="Banks, p. 9" /&gt; Hillenburg met {{W|Joe Murray (animator)|Joe Murray}}, creator of ''{{W|Rocko's Modern Life}}'', at an animation festival.

At that point, Hillenburg had not considered creating his own series, but soon realized that this was his chance.&lt;ref name="HillenburgInt" /&gt;&lt;ref name="HillenburgInt" /&gt;

Hillenburg used some character designs from his comic book. He designed "SpongeBob's grumpy next-door neighbor" like an octopus because of the species' large head; octopuses, he said, "have such a large bulbous head and Squidward thinks he's an intellectual so of course, he's gonna have a large bulbous head."&lt;ref name="Case"&gt;Hillenburg, Stephen.

Paramount Home Entertainment/Nickelodeon.&lt;/ref&gt; Hillenburg drew Squidward with six tentacles because "it was just simpler for animation to draw him with six legs instead of eight."&lt;ref name="Case" /&gt; Show writer and storyboard artist [[Vincent Waller]] said:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Squidward is hard to draw-he has a very odd-shaped head. Fortunately, his emotions are pretty even, but to get a whole lot of big emoting out of him is a challenge. His nose splits everything in half, so it's always like, 'OK, how am I going to work this and still make it read?'&lt;ref name="WallerHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Waller, Vincent | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hillenburg thought of making jokes with Squidward ejecting ink but retired it because, according to him, "it always looks like he's pooping his pants."&lt;ref name="Case" /&gt; However, it occurs in ''[[The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water]]'' and the episodes "[[Giant Squidward]]" and "[[Ink Lemonade]]."

Stephen Hillenburg named him Squidward because of the name Octoward—in the words of Squidward's voice actor [[Rodger Bumpass]]—"just didn't work."&lt;ref name="AbsorbingTales1"&gt;Bumpass, Rodger. (March 1, 2005). ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'' (''The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'') (DVD). Paramount Home Entertainment/Nickelodeon.&lt;/ref&gt; The sound of Squidward's footsteps is produced by rubbing hot water bottles. The footsteps, and those of the rest of the main characters, are recorded by the show's {{W|Foley (filmmaking)|foley}} crew. Sound designer Jeff Hutchins said that footstep sounds "[help] tell which character it is and what surface they're stepping on."&lt;ref name="HutchinsHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Hutchins, Jeff | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, his footsteps are usually accompanied by a couple of stock sound effects from the Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends library from the sound effects company Sound Ideas, SPURT, CARTOON - OIL SPURT 01 and 02. Bumpass inspired the idea of having Squidward ride a [[Squidward's recumbent bicycle|recumbent bicycle]]; Bumpass owns one of these bicycles, which he rides around Burbank, California.&lt;ref name="KennyHA" /&gt; Bumpass described it as his "little inside joke."&lt;ref name="AbsorbingTales1" /&gt;

===Voice===
[[File:Voices of Pearl Krabs and Squidward Tentacles.jpg|thumb]]
Squidward's voice is provided by actor Rodger Bumpass, who voices several other ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' characters, including Squidward's mother. In "[[Funny Pants]]," [[Tom Kenny]] voices Squidward's laughter at the end of the episode. While creating the show and writing [[Help Wanted|its pilot episode]] in 1997, Hillenburg and the show's then-creative director [[Derek Drymon]] were also conducting voice auditions.&lt;ref name="DrymonHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Drymon, Derek | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | access date = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[Doug Lawrence|Mr. Lawrence]], who had worked with Hillenburg and Drymon on ''Rocko's Modern Life'', was Hillenburg's first choice for the role. Hillenburg had invited Lawrence to audition for all the show's characters.&lt;ref name="MrLawrenceInt"&gt;{{cite video |people=[[Thomas F.

According to Bumpass, Squidward was "a very nasally, monotone kind of guy." He said the character became interesting to perform because of "his sarcasm, and then his frustration, and then his apoplexy, and so he became a wide spectrum of emotions."&lt;ref name="Bumpass"&gt;{{cite web|last=Reardon|first=Samantha|title=Rodger Bumpass is Squidward Tentacles|url=http://georgiastatesignal.com/rodger-bumpass-is-squidward-tentacles/|work=The Signal|accessdate=March 28, 2014|date=September 8, 2013|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328111302/http://georgiastatesignal.com/rodger-bumpass-is-squidward-tentacles/|archivedate=March 28, 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt; Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob, describes Bumpass recording his lines in the studio, saying, "I love watching Rodger&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;He's right next to me." According to Kenny, when Bumpass "goes apoplectic" as Squidward while recording, his head turns red, "and you're afraid he's going to have an embolism."&lt;ref name="KennyHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Kenny, Tom | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Several of the show's crew praise Bumpass for his performance and similitude to the character. Kenny called Bumpass "brilliant" and said, "[he] is sort of like Squidward."&lt;ref name="KennyHA" /&gt; Staff writer [[Kent Osborne]] said, "I remember thinking about how much Rodger talks and acts like Squidward. That's why it's such a good voice—he's so connected to it."&lt;ref name="OsborneHA"&gt;{{cite news | author = Osborne, Kent | title = The Oral History of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, Bumpass said, "I'm not him and he's not me, but what I'm required to do for him and what I am enabled to do for him is what makes it like me. It fits my particular talents and skills very well. So in that respect, yeah, he is me, but I am not the cranky, sarcastic, underachieving kind of guy that he is. He's easy to fall in, I will say that."&lt;ref name="Bumpass" /&gt;

Squidward's voice has been compared to that of {{W|Jack Benny}}'s. Kenny said, "To me, there's something just so funny about that Jack-Benny-loyal-to-nobody character that Rodger Bumpass does such a great job of playing [...] Squidward."&lt;ref name="AbsorbingTales2"&gt;Kenny, Tom. (March 1, 2005). ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'' (''The Absorbing Tale Behind The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'') (DVD). Paramount Home Entertainment/Nickelodeon.&lt;/ref&gt; Arthur Brown, author of ''Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Cartoons!'', said that Squidward "sounds a lot like Jack Benny."&lt;ref name="learned"&gt;{{cite book|last=Brown|first=Arthur|title=Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Cartoons!|publisher=Arthur Brown|year=2008|page=85|isbn=978-1-4357-3248-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X-oi8LiETHIC&amp;pg=PA85&amp;dq=SpongeBob&amp;lr=&amp;as_brr=3}}&lt;/ref&gt; Bumpass repudiated the relationship, saying "Jack Benny, no. Although he does have this observational sarcasm he occasionally brought out."&lt;ref name="Bumpass" /&gt;

==Relationships==
===SpongeBob SquarePants===
[[File:Naughty Nautical Neighbors 197.jpg|left|thumb|260px|Squidward angrily kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of his destroyed house.]]
SpongeBob is the character Squidward interacts with the most and is also the one he dislikes more than the rest, often trying to avoid him at all costs.

The main reason for Squidward's massive dislike for SpongeBob's existence is because SpongeBob can be extremely annoying towards Squidward, but SpongeBob is unaware of this, and thus continues to irritate him. It was revealed in "[[Truth or Square]]," that SpongeBob's pineapple house landed on Squidward's old garden and when SpongeBob moved in, Squidward started to resent him even though SpongeBob didn't do anything to make Squidward hate him. Squidward and SpongeBob are opposites, which seems to be the reason why Squidward dislikes him at times when SpongeBob has not done anything bad to him.

Their relationship is somewhat complicated. While SpongeBob sees Squidward as one of his best friends, this is mostly one-sided, although Squidward occasionally shows sympathy towards him; this is seen in episodes such as "[[Pizza Delivery]]," "[[Dying For Pie]]," and "[[Christmas Who?]]" Squidward also admired SpongeBob's selfless bravery against the [[Flying Dutchman]] in "[[Born Again Krabs]]." Squidward has also teamed up with SpongeBob and helped him on a few occasions, such as in "[[Krab Borg]]" and "[[Squid on Strike]]." Later, in "[[SpongeBob You're Fired]]," Squidward fought off four crazed restaurant owners to rescue SpongeBob and later admitted that as much he hates him, he hates the smell of burnt Krabby Patties more before giving him a heartfelt plea to return to the being the fry cook at the Krusty Krab. In the episode "[[SB-129]]," Squidward says that he misses everything, including SpongeBob. He also admitted that he likes SpongeBob in "[[Graveyard Shift]]" and "[[Fools in April]]." Sometimes, he needs SpongeBob's help, as shown in "[[Skill Crane]]" and "[[Sponge-Cano!]]" where he desperately told SpongeBob how grateful he was so SpongeBob could save him from falling in the volcano. He's also gotten along really nicely and played with SpongeBob in episodes such as "[[Breath of Fresh Squidward]]" and "[[Slide Whistle Stooges]]."

===Mr. Krabs===
[[File:Born Again Krabs 180.png|thumb|260px|Squidward is angry at Mr. Krabs.]]
Squidward despises Mr. Krabs and has little tolerance for him. Unlike SpongeBob, Squidward is much more aware of Mr. Krabs' greedy and cheap nature. Mr. Krabs also thinks very lowly of Squidward and gets tired of his lazy tendencies and often blames him for mishaps, though he does see him as a valued employee on occasion. There have been times where Squidward angrily scolded Mr. Krabs. In "[[Born Again Krabs]]," he furiously chastises Mr. Krabs for selling SpongeBob's soul for pocket change. In "[[Clams]]" he gets mad at Krabs for taking them on a fishing trip and berates him for making them stay on the boat all over a dollar. He also gets outraged when Mr. Krabs blames something on him, like when Squidward got mad and furiously quit his job because Mr. Krabs angrily accused him of stealing his first dime in "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]." However, the two do sometimes get along and Squidward has been working at the Krusty Krab for a long time and does sometimes respect and listen to Mr. Krabs' authority, so the two have developed a somewhat decent relationship. However, their relationship has taken a turn for the worst as the series progressed, with Mr. Krabs becoming more greedy and immoral, and Squidward becoming angrier and grumpier.

===Patrick Star===
Throughout the series, Squidward is shown to have a considerable dislike towards Patrick. As with Mr. Krabs, this hatred overall seems to have taken a turn for the worse in later seasons. In "[[Restraining SpongeBob]]," Squidward is very annoyed with Patrick when he would stalk him, ask stupid questions, and use his clarinet to clean the bathroom.

Their relationship, in general, is awkward; unlike SpongeBob, Patrick notices Squidward's malice more often and tends to contradict him more. Squidward in return is also more rude and disrespectful to Patrick than to SpongeBob. The two have even fought each other in some episodes due to their differences. However, Squidward sometimes hints he can tolerate Patrick more than SpongeBob.

While Squidward holds a massive hatred towards Patrick, he didn't seem to mind him before SpongeBob's arrival to their neighborhood. As shown in the TV special "[[Truth or Square]]," Squidward lived a happy life in Bikini Bottom, and even enjoyed his job at the Krusty Krab, only turning bitter and frustrated after SpongeBob moved. Additionally, in "[[No Hat for Pat]]," he wishes Patrick was SpongeBob before he tries to push him off the platform into an urchin bucket, hinting that even though he dislikes Patrick a lot, he dislikes SpongeBob far more.

In "[[Naughty Nautical Neighbors]]," he befriends him, because he saved his life, but quickly ditches him later. He also stops Mr. Krabs from conning him in "[[Patrick's Coupon]]."

===Plankton===
Squidward and Plankton barely interact since Squidward doesn't usually care about the secret formula. When they do interact they usually dislike each other. However, in the episodes "[[Sweet and Sour Squid]]" and "[[Chum Fricassee]]," they team up, although they remain enemies in the end.

===Gary the Snail===
Gary and Squidward have a complicated relationship. Gary annoys Squidward while Gary thinks Squidward is a jerk. However, Squidward does seem to have feelings for Gary as seen in "[[I Was a Teenage Gary]]." And they seem to sometimes share the same opinion about SpongeBob's annoying antics as Squidward once replied "Oh, tell me about it!" in "[[Giant Squidward]]." In "[[Are You Happy Now?]]," Gary seemed to be concerned for Squidward like SpongeBob was. In "[[That Sinking Feeling]]," Squidward was searching SpongeBob in his house and when he spotted Gary on the roof, he said "Hey, Gary." to him.

===Sandy Cheeks===
Squidward and Sandy usually do not talk to each other, but in "[[SquidBob TentaclePants]]," she transformed Squidward and SpongeBob after being stuck together, and Squidward begs Sandy to separate them. Sandy is one of the few characters Squidward seems to have no problems with, although Sandy does seem to sometimes to find Squidward intolerable, such as his recent assault on a creepy crawler with karate for revenge instead of self-defense in "[[Squid Defense]]." She can also get a little rough because in "[[Patrick! The Game]]" when he was about to quit Sandy angrily scolded him to get back in. She even drew the line before with Squidward and some of his antics, such as when she beat up Squidward in "[[Sportz?]]" for making SpongeBob and Patrick injure themselves by playing dangerous sports and wouldn't let them stop.

===[[Squilvia]]===
[[File:Love That Squid 034.jpg|left|thumb|260px|Squidward meets Squilvia.]]
Squilvia is Squidward's girlfriend in "[[Love That Squid]]." In the episode, Squilvia visits the Krusty Krab and Squidward falls in love with her and gets nervous around her, so SpongeBob has to act as his wingman. SpongeBob tells Squilvia that Squidward likes her and manages to get Squidward a date with her. However, Squidward is unprepared to go on a date because he has not gone on one in years. Therefore, SpongeBob teaches Squidward how to act on a date by pretending to be his girlfriend and going on a simulated date.

After Squidward cannot take it anymore, he yells at SpongeBob. However, he does not realize that Squilvia has arrived for their date. Squidward then thinks that she would not go out with him because he yelled at SpongeBob. However, she likes that he stood up for himself. They then go on their date.

Since she's confirmed a minor character, their relationship is considered over.&lt;ref&gt;https://twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/675706024859340800&lt;/ref&gt;

===Family===
{{Main|Tentacles family}}

===Rivalry===
Squidward's arch-rival is [[Squilliam Fancyson]], whom he first met in high school in band class, who, like all other octopuses on the show, looks and acts similar to Squidward, but wears a robe and has a unibrow. However, unlike Squidward, Squilliam is extremely successful in everything that Squidward has failed in, and is living Squidward's dream of being a wealthy celebrity artist with crowds of adoring fans, usually with many admirers following his presence. In Squilliam's debut episode, "[[Band Geeks]]," he calls Squidward, at his home, to once again, rub his success in his face, saying that his band is signed to play at the Bubble Bowl but cannot come, and sarcastically asks Squidward for his "band" to cover for them. Squidward, caught in the moment, claims that he does have a band and will play at the Bubble Bowl, forcing him to put together a band from the residents of Bikini Bottom. Thanks to SpongeBob, their performance turns out to be much better than Squilliam could have ever expected, causing him to have a heart attack.

Squilliam returns in the aptly named episode "Squilliam Returns," in which Squidward meets him and a crowd of his fans. Squilliam tries to embarrass Squidward by showing the crowd his lowly position as a cashier, but Squidward claims to own a five-star restaurant, and Squilliam agrees to take the group to dinner there, expecting this claim to be exposed as a lie. Squidward's attempts at converting the Krusty Krab into a five-star restaurant are initially unsuccessful until he gets SpongeBob to clear his mind of everything "except fine dining and breathing." SpongeBob can turn the Krusty Krab into an extremely extravagant and fancy diner. Everything goes well until Squilliam, who is admittedly impressed, asks his waiter, SpongeBob, his name. SpongeBob, having erased '''everything''' else from his mind, forgets his name and subsequently everything else, going insane and destroying the "fancy restaurant" environment, with the help of Mr. Krabs' disgusting "appetizer" coming to life.

Squilliam appears again in "[[House Fancy]]" where Squilliam calls Squidward to boast about how his enormous house was chosen as the fanciest house on the show ''House Fancy''. Squidward then calls the show's host and claims his house is better. Then with the help of SpongeBob, he attempts to make it look better but ultimately ends up destroying his house. The show's host thinks this is a revolutionary house design, and for the second time, Squidward can beat Squilliam.

==Love interests==
*In "[[Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V]]," Squidward says "Ah, make out reef... good times, good times...," meaning he had been there when he was younger with a love interest.
*In "[[That's No Lady]]," Squidward and Mr. Krabs fall for Patrick, who was posing as a woman named Patricia because Patrick thought someone was trying to force him to leave Bikini Bottom.
*In "[[Love That Squid]]," Squidward makes a date with another octopus named "Squilvia."

==Residence==
[[File:Squidward's_House.jpg|thumb|260px|Squidward's house.]]
{{Main|Squidward Tentacles' house}}
Squidward lives in a house resembling an Easter Island moai. It is placed in between {{Link|SpongeBob}} and {{Link|Patrick}}'s houses at [[Squidward Tentacles' House]], and the address was revealed in "[[Slide Whistle Stooges]]." It has been personified several times, such as in the episode "[[The Secret Box]]," where it seems to be peeking at SpongeBob and Patrick's talk. Despite Squidward's wish for peace and quiet, his two neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, make it nearly impossible, due to their high level of childish immaturity and silliness. If Squidward had the choice, he would move. He does so in "Squidville," but ultimately decides that he had moved somewhere even worse. In "[[Opposite Day]]," Squidward tried to move, but SpongeBob and Patrick caused the real estate agent who was originally trying to sell Squidward's house to leave angrily, so Squidward had to stay. He also moved out in "[[Stanley S. SquarePants]]," because he had realized that there were "two of them" and he became horrified.

Squidward usually lives alone, but in "[[The Great Snail Race]]," he adopts a pet snail named [[Snellie the Snail|Snellie]]. In "[[Can You Spare a Dime?]]," Squidward winds up homeless after quitting his job until SpongeBob finds him living in a cardboard box and takes him into his house. Squidward almost becomes homeless again in "[[Giant Squidward]]," when he turns into a giant. In the episode "[[Good Neighbors]]," Squidward's house becomes a living robot (due to a security system) and terrorizes [[Bikini Bottom]].

|}}'''Patrick Star''' is a fictional animated character in the hit [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] [[animated series]], ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. He is voiced by [[Bill Fagerbakke]]. He is an obese, pink, friendly, well-meaning but really [[stupid]] (though he did attend a [[community college]])&lt;ref name=TheBully&gt;''as mentioned in the episode, "[[The Bully (SpongeBob SquarePants)|The Bully]]"''&lt;/ref&gt; [[sea star]] with good intentions. Starfish are said to have no brains, and Patrick lives up to that image, as his head has been seen deflating. However, SpongeBob himself frequently attests to the "genius" of Patrick's harebrained ideas.

==Character==
Patrick is somewhat jealous of SpongeBob's various awards and once tried to imitate everything he did by trying to be a fry cook, therefore hoping to get awards for it. Finally, he got an award for doing nothing longer than anyone else, which he was pleased with. Patrick once completed the Dirty Bubble Challenge many years ago and then he lost the trophy they sent him, which reveals one of his talents, having an excellent skill at paddleball.&lt;ref name=Snail&gt;''as mentioned in the episode, "[[Have You Seen This Snail?]]"''&lt;/ref&gt; Patrick Star, like his pal SpongeBob is a big fan of [[Mermaid Man]] and [[Barnacle Boy]]. Patrick loves to eat food (especially ice cream, cheese, and donuts, which probably contributes to him being overweight), and riding on fishing hooks..&lt;ref name=Hooky&gt;''as seen in the episode, "[[Hooky]]"''&lt;/ref&gt; When writing a movie script, he suggested the characters should drink "Cheese Coffee", and he requested that his room at the Krusty Towers be filled with cheese. In an older episode entitled "[[Hooky]]", he risked his life for cheese. Patrick has also shown that he likes seanut brittle as seen in the episode "[[Pranks a Lot]]" One of the most difficult experiences of Patrick's life was when he had to open a jar in order to copy SpongeBob. He overcame his immense stupidity and was able to pull it off with flying colors thanks to SpongeBob's instructions and Patrick's perseverance. Unfortunately, after his success at jar-opening, he "spiked" the glass jar through the floor in jubilation.

In the early episodes, Patrick simply wears his trunks to bed. Later on he appears in pajamas. In the newer episodes, including the one that showed his 3 a.m. eating habit, he is seen wearing underwear to bed, just like his friend SpongeBob.

It can be assumed Patrick has a driver's license. In the episode "[[Boating School]]", he manages to navigate SpongeBob perfectly around the course via a walkie-talkie in his body, until the last moment, when SpongeBob realised he was cheating, and crashed. Also, in [[Driven to Tears]], he had his license for a while until SpongeBob ripped it up out of jealousy.  Patrick is also usually shown during a conflict, notcing something, but turns out to not know wabout the conflict as in "[[Have You Seen This Snail?]]"

Patrick Star will often appear to get really excited about a particular thing, then later the viewer realizes he was excited about something completely unrelated to what he originally appeared to be in a tizzy about. Examples of this include "[[Have You Seen This Snail?]]", and ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]'', in which SpongeBob and Patrick are driving in the "patty wagon" through a threshold of fish skulls, to which he is oblivious; it seems he starts to notice his surroundings, when in reality he was only going to shout "Make my ice cream a chocolate!" In the aforementioned episode, "[[Where's Gary?]]", Patrick sees that SpongeBob is on the floor, shouting "Darn it!" when he failed his paddleball challenge. Patrick appears to be shocked and startled about the way SpongeBob is acting, but it was then revealed 5 seconds later, that he was worried about a picture on the pineapple wall being crooked.

Patrick is left-handed. He writes with his left hand, as seen in "[[The Camping Episode]]". He also holds a jellyfish net in his left hand, as seen in "[[Jellyfishing]]"

==Leisure==
Patrick Star is [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob's]] best friend and has quite a lot of things in common with him. Like SpongeBob, Patrick is an invertebrate. He often walks into the [[Krusty Krab]] with the greeting "Good morning, Krusty Krew!". Patrick has crazy ideas that often get SpongeBob and himself into trouble such as [[Sandy's Rocket|alien hunting]], acting as adults with sideburns and not as babies in front of SpongeBob's grandma, sneaking into [[Sandy Cheeks|Sandy's]] [[Treedome]] in the winter, riding on fishing hooks, raiding girls underpants,and many other situations such as going after [[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie|King Neptune's crown]]. He fancies himself quite the [[Jellyfishing|jellyfisher]], and loves many of the same things that SpongeBob loves. His erstwhile goal in life was to defeat the giant monkey-man and save the ninth dimension, but SpongeBob convinced him to aim lower.

Patrick is a fan of the underwater rock band, "''Stingray 5000''", as hinted in "[[Missing Identity]]". The band is a reference to the [[heavy metal]] band [[Powerman 5000]], as they sang a song entitled "When Worlds Collide" which was also the name of the song played in SpongeBob B.C.

In the episodes "[[Band Geeks]]" and "[[The Camping Episode]]", and video game, ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!|Lights, Camera, Pants!]]'', it is revealed that Patrick is able to play drums.

==Residence==
Patrick lives under a rock, literally, on 120 Conch Street — two doors down from his best friend and 400&amp;nbsp;yards away from the Krusty Krab. Unlike most starfish, he sleeps on the ceiling (although he is shown sleeping in a bed in at least five episodes). When he is not jellyfishing, or adventuring with his friends, he's sleeping under his rock. There are many inconsistencies in the depictions of his house due to the nature of the cartoon and utility treatment of backgrounds; in one episode, his house is depicted to be nothing but a bed and a chest of drawers, yet in others he appears to have a kitchen and a living room. Also, certain episodes tend to depict the surface below the rock to be completely flat, while in others there is a considerable amount of depth below it.

==Occupation==
Patrick has never had a long-standing occupation. However he has had various jobs, mostly at the Krusty Krab. He has worked there a total of five times, as seen in the episodes [[Arrgh!]], [[Big Pink Loser]], [[Squilliam Returns]], [[That's No Lady]], and [[Bummer Vacation]].

Patrick once got a job working at the Chum Bucket when Plankton was searching for a tough competitor for the Krusty Krab in the [[Olympic Games|Olympic-esque]] Fry Cook Games. The audience was at first fooled into thinking an enormous purple championship wrestler fish would be the competitor, when in reality he was only carrying the real contestant, Patrick Star (a parody of a scene in ''[[Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls]]''). He then reveals to SpongeBob that he only worked for five minutes.

On February 19, 2007, Patrick beat [[Larry the Lobster]] in a Presidential Election. What he is president of, or if he kept it remains unclear...

In [[Sing a Song of Patrick]], Patrick gets a job from a comic book to sing a song of his own. However, Patrick never wanted to sing since his childhood when singing in P.E. and having dodgeballs thrown at him. Also, the band who performed his song died.

==Patrick's antagonistic side==
Although he is unintelligent and is usually carefree, magnanimous, and generally detached, Patrick has demonstrated a cold, shrewd, even sociopathic side at times. For example, in "[[I'm with Stupid (SpongeBob SquarePants episode)|I'm With Stupid]]", SpongeBob volunteered to act stupid around Patrick's parents in an attempt to improve their opinion of Patrick. In the end, Patrick ended up betraying the favor by denying that this was a part of an agreement, and that he was indeed the intelligent one who has been trying desperately to educate his poor hopeless friend. It is a transgression he has still never apologized for, although SpongeBob seems to have forgiven him anyway.

Patrick has shown a disregard for oaths and promises by going back on a vow to Mr. Krabs. While he had agreed to put himself under Mr. Krabs's "sailor promise" to not go near a nearby area filled with fishing hooks, he changed his mind under the justification that he "had crossed his fingers". As SpongeBob pointed out, this was impossible due to the fact that Patrick has no fingers.

Patrick has been known to become violent when he feels that his interpersonal relationships are crumbling. After SpongeBob fails to present a gift to him on [[Valentine's Day]], he concludes that SpongeBob must hate him (especially after finding out that SpongeBob gave gifts to everyone else, including somebody he had just met that morning). Patrick went as far as to declare his intentions to harm his yellow friend (as well as some random bystanders who also failed to give him a gift) for this horrible crime. Once Patrick finds out that SpongeBob has indeed gotten him a gift, his anger is forgotten.

In "[[Nature Pants]]", when SpongeBob decides to live away from home, a hurt and crazed Patrick attempts to capture him and keep him in a jar on his mantle.

Patrick's fickle disrespect for others may stem from delusions of his own superiority over those around him. In "[[Something Smells]]", he fears that he has become ugly and expresses that he was "...one of the beautiful people", and that SpongeBob gave him "the ugly". In the episode mentioned earlier during which he denies that SpongeBob is only pretending to be foolish, he easily took the opportunity to declare that he was in fact a genius, a possible revelation of his inner subconscious desire to be better than SpongeBob. In "[[The Fry Cook Games]]", he decided to join the competition (despite not being a fry cook) for the sole purpose of defeating SpongeBob. This may, however, be simple rivalry. It was one of the few occasions upon which Patrick actively sought to gain SpongeBob's forgiveness.

Even though Patrick is usually foolish and "behind the game", he has had moments in which he has become the mastermind of many devious plots that display his opportunism. In one of the many episodes during which SpongeBob attempts to get his driver's license, Patrick not only devises a system that allowed him to give SpongeBob the answers to the exam, but he found a way to conceal it from others, giving SpongeBob a cowboy hat to wear over the antenna that was attached to him, though SpongeBob later revealed that he was in fact "cheating".

==Education==
Very little is known of Patrick's education. Patrick attended [[Mrs. Puff's Boating School]] in the episodes, "[[New Student Starfish]]" and "[[Driven to Tears]]". However, this was only because he was lonely and wanted to go with [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob]]. He even thought it was [[Spanish language|Spanish]] class, and not driver's education. Additionally, in [[Sing a Song of Patrick]], it is revealed that Patrick had a gym teacher and possibly went to school (although it is uncertain which [[school system]] he attended.) In "[[The Bully]]" it is said that Patrick went to [[community college]].

==Video Game Appearances==
He appears in the game ''[[Lights, Camera, PANTS!]]''. In the [[IBM PC compatible|PC]] Version, he owns a lemonade stand. His roles in the episode of "The New Adventures of [[Mermaid Man]] and [[Barnacle Boy]]" are [[Barnacle Boy]] and the [[Sneaky Hermit]]. In the second version, available for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], [[PlayStation 2]], and [[Xbox]] consoles, he auditions for roles he can gain in the episode of "The New Adventures of [[Mermaid Man]] and [[Barnacle Boy]]". He also appears in ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom]]'' and ''[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]''.
In a [[Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island|Nicktoons crossover video game]], he is a playable character.
Patrick is a superhero called StarfishMan in the game [[SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab]].
Patrick, [[SpongeBob SquarePants]], and [[Sheldon J. Plankton]] also appeared in [[Nicktoons Racing]].

Patrick is seen but un-playable in [[Nicktoons Unite!]]
